isnt that a recursive call which should crash the stack :confused:

Exactly.

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
There was a video by Veritasium, on how Spanish needs more or less double the words in order to convey the same amount of information, compared to English. Relate the video to the fact that the 'get length' appeared to have been written twice, you get a joke. Well it's funny now that I had to explain everything but nonetheless, nice effort kmoorevs.

Well, since that's the wrong spelling for 'length' it's safe to assume it will only be called by an error - so if it recalls itself until it crashes, nothing's really been lost, anyway. Thus, the balance is restored in this, the best of all possible worlds.

It's not about patterns, it's about stupid code: that won't return, it will overflow the stack. Shows the level of testing they did on the rest of the code as well. :sigh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay... AntiTwitter: @DalekDave is now a follower!
What else would expect from a coder who can't spell 'length' ?

This is why I use a VS extension: Spell Checker - Visual Studio Marketplace[^] it marks up my strings and comments, if not my variable names!

How would this even work, given that "Lenght" is misspelled in both places?

And what is "Seriously?" the Problem? I would skip such minor things. Bruno :confused: The longer I'm here the more I have a Feeling that programmers discuss about how to Programm, and because of endless discussions about pattern and this and that they are not able to do their Job ;)

Well, I worked in Miami for nine years, and not once did I see one of my Cuban or Mexican colleagues code anything like this:
// Comment out if not using the Spanish version of the compiler
// Por favor comente si no esta utilizando la version espannol del compiladorentero publico Longidut
{
obtener { devolve ese.Longidut; }
}This sort of thing is just a classic example of a programmer who is just too lazy to correct the property name where it is used. Much easier to take the easy way out and keep the property name misspelled. We had a programmer like this on a COBOL project. 15 years after he was fired, we are still living with the sh*tty code he wrote. There is no bandwidth in my team to rip it all out and replace it, so I have imposed a policy of "replace, don't fix" whenever we run into an issue with one of this guy's modules. Any developer on my team who tries to get away with this kind of stuff now gets dealt with abruptly. There is no excuse for it.

I suspect that the code comes from a keyboard dyslexic like myself. Since he/she regularly mis-types lenght (see?) they though it would be a good idea to cater for it... unofrtuantely they misspselt it in the function too.
I recently started working with Python. The IDE I use highlights every potential typo and stylistic error as I type. A variable name like Lenght would be flagged immediately, even though it is syntactically legal. My goal when coding with the IDE is zero flaggings of code. In the long run it is worth it.
