    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 ^^
  • highphilosopher (unregistered)

    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.

    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.

  • noone (unregistered)

    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.

    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!"

    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.
