Jan's coworker had come to be known around the office as The Clever Coder. Not quite the clever we've come to expect on The Daily WTF, but more the unfunny-uncle-who-thinks-he's-funny sort of clever.
His code wasn't all that great, and his cleverness wasn't all that... well, clever. One of his more frequently used methods was the following.
/// <summary> /// Turns true into false and false into true /// -- similar to the church of scientology. /// <param name="_booInpt">True of false</param> /// <returns>False or true</returns> private bool trueandorfalse(bool _booInpt) { // I'm quite sure though there is a very // clever C# standard command doing this, // I just can't find it right now ... if (_booInpt == true) return false; return true; }
Of course, this entire method could be replaced by a single character (the !
operator). But then again, that wouldn't quite be as clever.
