public static class NumberHelpers
{
public static ApplicationException EvenOrOdd(int integer)
{
if (integer % 2 == 0)
{
return new ApplicationException(“The integer is even.”);
}
else
{
return new ApplicationException(“The integer is odd.”);
}
}
}Usage:
protected void btnTest_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
throw NumberHelpers.EvenOrOdd(Convert.ToInt32(txtIntToTest.Text));
}
catch (ApplicationException ex)
{
litResult.Text = ex.Message;
}
}Brilliant! I'm going to utilize this beautiful exception-based development pattern into our code base immediately!

:laugh: This is too unreal, you must have posted it in DotNetKick yourself to get a good line here.

People wouldn't really write code which is that bad in a production environment would they?

Oh they would. And the worst thing is it (almost) works, so unless someone reviews the code they'll never learn.

That is probably the most insane piece of coding I've seen in all my years of programming. I might print it out and make a poster of it, to serve as a warning to our junior programmers :)

I had to work with a state machine library that was somewhat similar. Worker threads would change states by throwing an exception. It was the most ridiculous stuff I have ever had to deal with but, of course, customers are always right and they wrote it. :rolleyes:

Can't you see the really GOOD think this solution is? If the string is not a number you will also get the right message. It can't be simple, can it? Hahahahaha
Well...that's the beauty of that Snippet.

Just WTF is that supposed to achieve?

It is just a JIT compiler test. A "good" compiler would deduce the intent and eliminate all of the excess excpetion handling and place optimized code inline on the first pass. This eliminates the need for the programmer to think because the compiler has implemented the new DWIM (Do what I mean) facility. Seriously in MVS Assembler it would be XR R0,R0 L R1,VALUE D R0,=A(2) JZ EVEN process odd number J M_010 EVEN DS 0H process even number M_010 DS 0H . . .
