    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'm pretty sure this was posted in the last couple of weeks.

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

                                      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.
