    It is always interesting to me that C# doesn't produce a compiler error for that. But, I guess it figures you know best. :rolleyes: Maybe there's a warning, but we all ignore warnings. :laugh:

    I think it does issue a warning when you assign something to itself...at least I recall seeing one. I was more focused on the missing types in the property declarations.

          Value3 = Value3;
      }
      

      }

      var value = new MyObject(1,2,3);

      Why is MyObject.Value3 always equal to 0? /slaps self repeatedly, and insert appropriate comic[^]

        You forgot to capitalize the first letter of your sentence.

            In c++ you will get at least a warning "Parameter value3" not used :-\ :-D

            It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

              There (sort of) is a warning for self-assignment. If you assign

              value3 = value3

              you do get a warning. If you assign

              Value3 = Value3

              you do not get a warning. Strange, the warning must only be for self-assignment of variables, but not properties?

                Not that strange: properties are syntactic sugar for getter and setter methods, so what you are actually doing is:

                Value3 = Value3;

                Value3_setter(Value3_getter());

                But the compiler should have spotted it:: lazy programmers strike again ... :laugh:

                  Yeah, in their defense, I guess there are cases where that "self-assignment" might actually have "desired" side effects (such as modifying some other local variable). Though, I'd still like it if the compiler kicked out a low level warning...mostly, because I'm bound to make that mistake myself sometime :(

                    that's okay, because my sentence is not part of any widely recognized API...

                      Because your code is doing what you told it to do - not what you want it to do? (That is usually my problem with my code!)

                            Unfortunately that happens, and aging doesn't help. Interestingly enough, in spite of 0x01AA remark, g++ doesn't complain about

                            class Foo
                            {
                            int F;
                            public:
                            Foo(int f){F = F;}
                            //...

                            But it does complain about (which is, by the way, the construct every sensible C++ developer would have chosen)

                            class Foo
                            {
                            int F;
                            public:
                            Foo(int f):F(F){}
                            //...

                            spitting out a sane

                            warning: ‘Foo::F’ is initialized with itself

                            In testa che avete, signor di Ceprano?

                                I don't even know what language this is, but I will presume Java. :^) You have Value3 being assigned to the value of ... Value3, so nothing happens there. Evidently, it is initialized to the value of 0. Is it a default int when there is no declaration type? :confused:

                                  C#, and exactly. Stared and stared and stared and debugged and stared and had another coffee then... :doh: C# will warn you if you do "=" instead of "==" but I was surprised it didn't warn about X = X.

                                          var value = new MyObject(1,2,3);

                                          Why is MyObject.Value3 always equal to 0? /slaps self repeatedly, and insert appropriate comic[^]

                                          I saw it fairly quickly, there again this sort of case is very easy to miss when you are the one who wrote it. It's the reason why rubber ducks or cardboard programmers are so important.
