    Peter:
    Er - in what language is it a common idiom to have three open braces but only one close brace?

    Doh! Typo.

    Not even a nested series of if statements I wonder if the coder was getting paided by the unit of code he/she wrote.

    I think a Lisper would just use the built-in format function, something like (format nil "~100,'0d" data).

  • Iv (unregistered)

    I don't get it :

       if (length >= 100) {
      NewData = Data.substring(0,length);
   }

    shouldn't it be NewData = Data.substring(0,100); instead ? There is a bug ! there is a bug !

    LINQ is your friend

    var foo = "123";
var bar = String.Concat(String.Join(String.Empty,(from dummy in Enumerable.Range(0, 100 - foo.Length) select "0" as string).ToArray()), foo);

    Haskell:

    rightPad c n = take n . (++ repeat c)
leftPad c n = reverse . rightPad c n . reverse

    Usage examples:

    leftPad '0' 10 (show $ 7 * 673) = "0000004711"

leftPad (0,0) 5 [(1,2),(2,3),(3,5)] = [(0,0),(0,0),(1,2),(2,3),(3,5)] -- works with all lists, not just strings :)

join $ map (leftPad ' ' 3) ["ABC","DE","F"] = "ABC DE  F"

    var length = Data.length; var NewData; if (length >= 100) { NewData = Data.substring(0,length);

    That is just fantastic.

    Whatever is wrong with good old direct assignment???

    if (length >= 100) NewData = Data;

    hehe... double click LIPS and ctrl+c' it.

    I love the fact that the first time he/she uses the substring function he uses 'substring' he start at index 0...

    the following times, we see 'substring(length-x,...)'

    where 'length-x' is clearly zero...

    This is clearly a job for recursion:

    string Pad100(string data)
{
    if (data.GetLength() >= 100)
        return data;
    else
        return Pad100("0"+data);
}
  • Bianca Milatinovici (unregistered)

    And for Data longer than 100 chars, it returns the exact data, without trimming it .. :))

  • James (unregistered)

    He missed "if length = 0" Ahh well.
