Another Horror

That's too bad. What was the programmer thinking?

now THAT'S a true horror.
Yes, it is. Hopefully the coder is no longer with that company.

You need to suggest doing stricter code reviews, if your company doesn't already do so.

Knowing that it is possible to pass a value of a variable to a function directly not like this, is bloody essential thing and it would be nice if someone told him or her that. Just snoop around to find out who wrote this and make a good deed today. Hmm.. it's a funny horror anyway. :)

Since this programmer obviously can't make a switch in code, your company should make a switch of employees.

Someone voted you down for that. Gave you a 5 to balance it out :rolleyes:

Don't worry about it. You see, the compiler takes a look at this and works out the redundancy. In fact, the redundancy notices should be on their desks by the time the link cycle has completed.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

I hope your using the term "Coder" loosely there... Probably better said by saying **** Monkey, with approporiate word inserted in place of Code..

if (a >= 1 && a <= 4)
DoSomething(a);is a better option than a
switchI think :) .Greetings - Gajatko Portable.NET is part of DotGNU, a project to build a complete Free Software replacement for .NET - a system that truly belongs to the developers.
