What's the song of this code of the day Original idea by: Thomas Haller[^] Previous ones here[^] here[^] and here[^] Genre: Alternative Rock

var wordList = new List();
for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{
string word = GetWord();
wordList.Add(word);
}

Since yesterday's was too easy I decided to bring it up a notch.

Close, but Sweetbox is pop I believe? the genre of this one is Alternative Rock

Candlebox?

VS2010/Atmel Studio 6.1 ToDo Manager Extension Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the restraints.

Nope, they don't seem to have any song by that title

Since it is Alternative Rock and they do have a song with the appropiate title I'll take it as good. I'm amused that it's the first time I hear about all the bands that have been mentioned :laugh:

It's not alternative rock, but Thousand Cranes[^] by Hiroshima?

Emmanuel Medina

You are right on the "Thousand" part.

Don't know the song, but they say it is worth a picture. (A picture is very undervalued by that saying, I saved a PNG in a third of a meg and the same picture in JPEG is over a meg. You would rarely need 20 bytes or more to store a word so my smallest picture is almost worth 20 thousand words and based on general word length, it might be worth over 20K. PS, think you have a bug in that code:

var wordList = new List();
string word = GetWord();
for (i = 0; i < 1000 && word != null; i++)
{
wordList.Add(word);
if (i != 999) word = GetWord();
}

That's assuming when you run out of words it returns null. :-D It also seems strange that "i" is a predefined variable before you reach the loop.

Bug free code was not my aim, still, thanks pointing it out.

I kind of figured that you weren't looking for bug-free code, my "code review" was just me having fun.
