Comment On letter_array

$comment = Array("W", "T," "F");
//W T F

$letter_array = array(
"F", "I", "R", "S", "T", "!");
// F I R S T !

Come on, it had to be done.

>> // F I R S T !

It isn't.

and TRWTF is.... ? ^^

the lack of comments ?
the inanity of the rare comments ? oO

that's everyday stuff... ^^

(btw, that* pretty much sucks indeed !)


* this error that occurred ^^

TRWTF is that the programmer didn't know how to write proper self documenting code.

This:

$letter_array = array(
"A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M",
"N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z", "!");
// A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z !

Should have been This:

$abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz!_array = array(
"A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M",
"N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z", "!");

Gee what's this world coming to.

"!" is not a letter! D:

PHP MADE ME DO IT! I WAS A GOOD CODER UNTIL I STARTED WRITING PHP! Truly, I'm sorry. It was PHP what made me do it, really.

You missed a letter.

Did not.

I think he means you forgot the "FILE_NOT_FOUND" element of the array.

Beaker:

I think he means you forgot the "FILE_NOT_FOUND" element of the array.

I think you accidentally FILE_NOT_FOUND there.

Captcha: acsi ? Some kind of lowercase ASCII?

Beaker:

I think he means you forgot the "FILE_NOT_FOUND" element of the array.

stupid! stupid! stupid! I've read three books on that subject! I can't believe I missed that!

"FILE_NOT_FOUND and you"
"tracking your files in code"
"FILE_NOT_FOUND goes to college"

Huh?:

$letter_array = array(
"F", "R", "I", "S", "T", "!");
// F I R S T !

Come on, it had to be done.

Fixed.

I once had to tackle a nearly incomprehensible system with code spread out over 50+ files (for no reason), some 800 different states that got passed around, functions with names that no longer matched what they did, parameters that weren't used, return values that were never read; most of the functionality was achieved through side effects (all variables were global). It contained *no* comments, except this one:

line[0] = '\0'; /* initialize string to empty */

However that one was repeated about 100 times all over the program.

Huh?:

... // F I R S T !
Come on, it had to be done.

No!

$letter_array = array(

Fixed.

I like that the comment is now incorrect....

So the true WTF is that $letter_array should have been called $letter_array_plus_one_random_punctuation_mark ?

Just imagining the poor maintenance developer who is expecting $letter_array to only contain, well, letters.

Captcha: damnum
Are we using the Automated Curse Generator for CAPTCHA now? Damnum! Damnum to heck!

Reminds me of a little joke:

Johnny was in programming class and had to use the bathroom. The teacher asked him to create a completely useful letter array. So Johnny went back to his desk and showed the teacher:

$letter_array = array(
"A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M",
"N", "O", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z", "!");
// A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O Q R S T U V W X Y Z !

Johnny said, "It is even commented, can I go to the bathroom?" The teacher said, "Wait, where's the P?" Johnny said, "Running down my left leg!"

Better than the FILE_NOT_FOUND that I read I suppose.

I haven't heard this joke since I was 5. Even then it wasn't funny.

If you fancy a break from that, try humming "Baa Baa Black Sheep" instead. Or save time and go straight to "Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman".

A group called "The Originals"? Huh, I wonder if they had to change their name to "The New Originals", or maybe "The Thamesmen"?

You must not have seen FILE_NOT_FOUND does Dallas.

I had to read your name about half a dozen times before I realized what it said - all I could see was the bit that said "porno". Does that make me a bad person?

Yes he does, since the two of you are arguing, and you're code doesn't even compile.

We need a LetterFactory. And XML. And a neural network. Garglepussy!

hidden POST forms for every link

That seems to be the default for many .Net applications that I have seen. If it included a 10KB serialized session object in a hidden input_field as well, it would be an exact match :-(

What we really need is a GarglepussyFactory ^^

TRWTF is that this wasn't a proper WTF at all...

captcha: acsi - Alphabet Crime Scene Investigation

For the love of god, can we please finally let "developmesuction" or "devildestruction" or "devoreunion" or whatever the hell it is finally die? It is to neologisms what ADA was to programming. What IE was to web standards. What Trespasser was to gaming. What Cat in the Hat was to film. What My Mother the Car was to sitcoms. What iSnack2.0 was to food. Just let it die. In the name of all that is holy... let it die.

Yes?

The comment itself is not a WTF at all, in fact I am pretty sure that comment was there before the actual statement. its easier to write A-Z in a comment and then make the array. This is to make sure its in order to not miss any letter.

The bigger WTF is no comments, but then again, I have seen worse

LOL, that is much worse than this WTF. This WTF is riddled with bad redundancy, however, line[0] having the ONE comment LOL!!

It's made worse by the fact, that the string isn't empty at all because line[1-end] may have garbage or what have you...all they did was put EOF at the beginning, which works under 'ideal'conditions.

Everyone codes with "high hopes" these days. Code for errors, not for WTFs.

Wow. I don't know what's worse, that you made the joke or that I got it without having to look it up. Off to eat a "shark sandwich"...

$letter_array = array(
"S", "H", "E", "N", "A", "N", "I", "G", "A", "N", "S", "!");
// S H E N A N I G A N S

I like Ruby:

('A'..'Z').collect + ['!']
