Too bad he/she(it?) didn't have "bar" in the initial quotes. Then you could have replaced the construct with
bool isProgrammerCompleteFnIdiot(true);
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old. While the military are doing their part, it simply isn't enough to make the amount of nukes needed to save those poor stars. - TWI2T3D (Reddit)

Cheech and Chong may have something to help with that. Wait a minute. For some reason I can hear Tommy Chong's voice when I read that code. Sounds about right.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Just in case your bools give you a NullReferenceException. And your BaR s have trailing spaces and lower cases. And you really need those if else statements... Just out of curiosity, are you sure Trim() also trims uppercased spaces? :D

A little pointless but not too crazy.
boolis just an alias forSystem.Boolean. Theelsewas the silly part.Boolean isOffset = new Boolean(); //default false
if (reader["foo"].ToString().ToUpper().Trim() == "BAR")
isOffset = Boolean.Parse(Boolean.TrueString);Though I suspect unlike above that
trueandfalseare probably aliases for pre-defined constants. Couldn't find documentation on how they're created; above was just a guess using publicBooleanmembers. Alsotrueandfalseare operators that can be overloaded to create nullable types prior to .NET 2.0 (Nullable). Of course it's still silly to do it this way.boolis shorter to write and usingtrueandfalseis both clearer and shorter. -

bool isOffset = reader["foo"].ToString().ToUpper().Trim() == "BAR";
Why couldn't the programmer see that? Why didn't someone in the 2+ years that this code has been in production fix it? Marc

Very true! :thumbsup: I was just pointing out that
new bool()isn't as crazy as it looks at first glance :)Jon McKee wrote:

Well, look: a variable must be initialized before it can be used. Now just imagine: somehow a third possibility comes into existence which is not covered by that if ... else - now you'll run into an error when you access isOffset because it was not initialized. :^)
