Bug of the Day

[Chris Maunder]

string objectRefGuid = objectRef.ObjectTypeId.ToString() + PartDivider + objectRef.ObjectId;

if (objectRef.VersionNumber > 0)
objectRefGuid += PartDivider + objectRef.VersionNumber;

ObjectTypeId is 1, ObjectId is 2, and VersionNumber is 3. PartDivider is '_'. The expected result was 1_2_3. The output was 1_298. :doh:

Implicit conversions are always a pain. :) More importantly, why is it called objectRef**Guid** when it doesn't contain a Guid?

Now assume you are really in a production Environment... Sorry to say that, but a lot what happens here is never allowed in production. Bruno

Guid = globally unique identifier. In our case it's globally unique where we define "global" as being in the scope of the application. (It's kinda like the World Series ;))

I'm not able. But please, what I tried to say: In production environment downtimes Counts. A machine which can not produce because of IT Problems costs $ x/hour. And our customers Shows us (as the IT suppliers) the bill.

Care to explain for those (me) who do not C# ? Someone say it is related to "Implicit conversions" ? Thanks.

What's wrong is the developer asking "why" questions about their own production code - wrong role. In production the customers/users ask the "why" questions, to which developers are supposed to say "that's what you/they said you wanted/needed." The customer is king, but in their presence the developer is never wrong.

PartDivider is a char?

Is that what caused the CSS to go wack-a-doodle? :-D

Oh, you mean this output[^]? I am sure the aftermath of that bug was really very graphical. See the layout.

He's basically doing this:

"1_2" + '_' + 3

Note that the underscore is a character, not a string (Single quotes = char, Double quotes = string). So instead of both parts being converted to strings to form "_3", it's treating the character as a number (ASCII code 95), adding 3 to it, THEN converting it to a string... So it becomes "1_2" + "98" Very subtle. I like it.

You know... point one for loosely typed languages. I submit this... JSFiddle[^] Not that I have anything against strongly typed languages, I just smile at those that think it's the answer to everything including poverty and cancer.

So, the pixels flattened due to the empty space, I guess?

No, just forgot to run my Bit Recycler[^]. It is like defragmenting, but for the bits. :rolleyes:

That has nothing to do with the fact that JS is loosely typed, but the fact that JS doesn't have a char type. So '_' is just a string, equivalent to "_", and thus 3 is concatenated as though it was a string. C# would have done the same if '_' was a string and not a char. Basically, it's not loosely typed, but poorly typed :)

Cute. Thanks.

It has everything to do with it bro, there is no char type in JS.... because it's loosely typed. Btw, the sky is blue. ;)
