code:

function Upercase(str : string) : string;
   var
   len : integer;
   count : integer;
   newstring : string;
   begin
   len := length(str);
   count := 0;
   while (count < len) do
      begin
      newstring[count] := str[count] - 32;
      count := count + 1;
      end;
   result := newstring;
   end;

Return value seems to be undefined if string has length zero.

code:

<select ="prefix">
    <option value="<?=$_SESSION['prefix']?>"><?=$_SESSION['prefix']?></option>
    <option value="mr">mr</option>
    <option value="mrs">mrs</option>
    <option value="ms">ms</option>
    <option value="dr">dr</option>
</select>

So I guess rather than just adding "selected" with like a tiny piece of code, it's trying to add the option you had previously selected to the top so it defaults to the selected one.

It's not that bad, it's just irritatingly lazy.

Finally, when opening the site instead of just opening an HTML file you open an HTA file, which is apparently an HTML Application. Is this ever excusable?

I spend a lot of time in a C++ help channel and, from my experiences there, I've concluded that many people's brains simply freeze up when they see an error message. They see "error" and they just panic and stop thinking.

It used to be that people would come in and ask "what does (incredibly self-explanatory error) mean?" and I'd explain it. But I realized after a while that they didn't need me to explain it. They just need me to repeat it. More than a few times I've quite literally just copy-and-pasted the error message, without the word "error" at the front, and suddenly they understand it, without even realizing what I've done.

No, but "unless" certainly is.

I don't see the point of arguing whether Perl has redundant features. Larry Wall admits it and is proud of it.

ehnus posted:

Sorry to break it to you but "unless" is redundant as it does the same thing as using if with a negated condition but saves no typing and some (like myself) might even say it does nothing to improve code clarity or comprehension.

Both statements have undefined behavior unless those are overloaded operators. Post or pre-increment doesn't matter, assuming C or C++, that is.

rjmccall posted:

With a few exceptions, the order of execution of side-effects within expressions is not specified in C/C++, so it is permitted for the increment to logically happen after the assignment. The major exceptions are the comma operator (left before right), the ternary operator (condition before chosen expression), and call-like operations (function and arguments (in any order) before call). (n.b. this list is not guaranteed to be exhaustive)

no this is not "who knows what the value of i is going to be afterwards", this is literally undefined behaviour

you do not have to argue why it is because it just says in the standard not to do that poo poo

You know it's funny, a good number of people reading this thread and that reddit thread would probably be guilty of a number of things in this thread. Programming should be more like music, where you compete against yourself rather than bash those who suck, but then nothing would get done.

Just as The Beatles say:

This applies to all functions, unless otherwise noted. If you use pass by value, you will recieve a value back, but if you pass a reference to a hash or value, you will receive a reference back. This is to support backwards compatability, it might be removed in later releases.

They're also bitwise operators when the operands are integral types. Maybe you should try them with boolean operands.

I was trying to figure out what you had cooking with the acronym too. I remember in college they rammed something down our throats like that where we could only return right at the end of things. What I thought particular worse was they were also anal about breaking out of loops. So you'd have to throw your terminal conditions in the loop construct and often deal with signal variables of some kind.

I think this could be defensible, depending on what exactly it's being used to do. Similar to how while (true) {...} can be a useful control structure.
