Shouldn't you be telling this to a priest in a confessional booth?

Perhaps you've hit upon an idea for a new message board 'Coding Confession Box'

In most cases when see code that can catch an access violation your looking at a coding horror.

Actual the code for catching the access violations was pretty good, It logged a snap shot of the callstack to a file, then using witchcraft .map and .code files you could find and fix the problem back at base without having to reproduce the problem.

I had written some code many years ago (VAX Basic I think) and had asked a student programmer to tidy it up and annotate it. He came back a few hours later and said he was finished. I took a look and he had rearranged all the lines of code in alphabetical order ....

Ouch!
That sounds worse than dropping a old box of punch cards ...

Look at the bright side.
Now you have an alphabeticaly ordered list of bugs.

If they had line numbers, that might not be so bad.

If I wanted to mess with my teacher that would be the way to do it...but I personally drew ASCII art with my source to mess with them

Did he sort it by hand or fed the code to some elegant sorting algorithm he invented
|
|

Are you kidding?  He probably didn't know the meaning of the word invented and certainly didn't know what an algorithm was.

Impressive. I'm not sure if he'll make a good computer programmer but he sure as hell would make a good computer.

Did I mention that this was an argument to string.Split() which is defined to take (params char[])?
They could have simply typed:
';'
|
|
|
|
|
It would have been a gem if the code was something like this:
"argument1;argument2;argument3".Split(";".ToString());
I have no smart signature yet...

That was only introduced in .NET 3.5 IIRC.
I have written similar code ages back too.

Same here - and until today I still would have had I not seen your post and tried using a single char parameter.
Thanks

Well, I can't say, the f***in page is stuck on C++ 
PS: IIRC C++ does not support .NET params.
Update:
IE to the rescue. I see it was there (in 2.0), maybe I am thinking of something else...
|
|

|

I don't know what else you could be thinking of - you were talking about the params overload for .NET 2.0 right?

This is what I have seen years ago.
a.ToString().ToString();
Yeah... he was just tired... couldn't prevent a prank by Intellisence.
