    I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

      No. $jam=1; if(GotEggs) { GetSix(); } Any competent programmer would ask what GetSix should do.

        The problem of being a programmer.......is that they tend to flood codeproject with old jokes they have found on the web.

          Jam comes in Jars. Plus it is older than Methuselah.

                                        I don't see that definition in the spec, so you should probably have clarified it with the BA/PM/Client (delete as applicable). If you coded it before understanding the spec you'd be an idiot.

                                          “Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed”
                                          “One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated”

                                          Sir Thomas More (1478 – 1535)
