Haha. That was a good one. Haha. That was a good one.

You can say that again.

Wonder if it was originally different code and they changed it without looking at the old code (either because they feared it or were in a hurry).

Looks like classic cut'n'paste development.

Y'know, if they'd use a loop, they would be able to easily enhance the certainty of that by running the code *at least* 3 times.
|
|
Your supposed to change the pasted bit !!! ha ha ha
|
|
I wonder how many other times they do this... I bet this is lightning fast!!

Spec: "Ensure all values are set by setting all values. Twice."
|
|
If this were cut-and-paste code, then why is the order of assignments swapped? Maybe because this block was written in two different places and copied twice here.
This reminds me a lot of DNA as we understand it. There are lots of places with similar or identical sequences, i.e., a whole lot of redundancy with occaisional variations. And, with DNA there are a lot of cut-and-paste operations too, and they seem to work very well. That's the premise behind evolutionary algorithms. Is this code snippet just the result of genetic programming? |

Personally, when setting a value, I'd use the following (in C-style code for simplicity):
do { value = newValue; } while(value != newValue); This will ensure that the loop runs as many times as needed to set the actual value. |
|
I don't get it...
|
|
That shit's like Nas, yo.
|
|
Notice that this isn't VB code.
|
|
If there were more than just @NonPropLev and @BOMLevel to check, then yes it may have a third and fourth block.
|
|
Copy paste with a twist :-)
|
|
Look how many lines of code there are in our solution. It must be complicated and very good.
