:laugh: Strange that the author of the code didn't write this: if ((a == a)) { MessageBox.Show("That is correct, well done!!!"); }

Or even just: MessageBox.Show("That is correct, well done!!!");

There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who dont.

Better would be if ((a == a) && !(a != a)) { MessageBox.Show("That is correct, well done!!!"); } to make it clear :-O

There's like two levels of redundancy in there. It's sorta cool in a demented way.

The ones I find really silly and I see quite often in our codeset are like boolIsFive = val = "5" ? true : false Correction: boolIsFive = val == "5" ? true : false; -- modified at 8:14 Wednesday 6th June, 2007

"if (a == a)" actually has a meaning if a is of type double: double.NaN isn't equal to itself. Try it.

[Dan Neely]

maybe, but if that's the only case is there a way to test if a double is NaN directly? That'd be safer than hoping a clueless maintainance programmer wouldn't delete the explanatory comment as unneeded clutter on one update and then remove the if (a == a) test as useless on the next pass.

-- You have to explain to them [VB coders] what you mean by "typed". their first response is likely to be something like, "Of course my code is typed. Do you think i magically project it onto the screen with the power of my mind?" --- John Simmons / outlaw programmer

That's why System.Double contains the method public static bool IsNaN(double d) { return d != d; }

You know the intern that produces this? You could tell him the secret hack

bool IsFive = (val == "5");

I presume the assignment of "5" was a typo?

Failure is not an option - it's built right in.

Point well taken.

That is correct, thank you. Here's the VB.net version btnSubmit.Visible = IIf(_mode = "Read", false, true)

When it will not execute? Answer is a = 10 and a = 11
