Best Function Ever

I was looking to a web site that a team mate developed and found this briliant function :)
<script type="text/javascript">
function callPostBack() {if (1 == 2) return true; else return false; }</script>
What would you say to that "developer" ?

I would possibly mention it to him in passing. I have learned to no longer ridicule code no matter how idiodic that it appears, because I may just be belittling the code to the person that wrote it. Plus, I have come across my own mistakes that appear almost as brilliant as the example you have posted. I can only imagine started an idea, and never returned to that piece of code.

I'd say since it's JavaScript, use

I would ask why first? Perhaps there used to be a condition they were checking for and then at some point found out they didn't need it. It's easier to modify this one function then stop calling it from everywhere it could be used. I would have expected a comment in it though, if that were the case.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

"What kind of debugging technique it is?" That's my first thought. During debugging I would routinely put code like this to make debugging easier:
if(i == 4)
i = 4;or
if(n == nullptr)
i = i;more from me | GALex: C++ Library for Advanced Genetic Algorithms

Looks like code intended for debugging.

Exactly. Good and Bad code are created one line at a time. This happens to be a chunk of forgotten code.

Well, to take a point from a previous thread, it has one too many return statements. Ducks and runs for cover. :laugh: At least I stay consistent.

It's much worse than that; it has fully twice as many as required! :omg:

Yes, it does have twice as many as needed. He gets paid by the code line. Then, when time comes to refactor and he gets paid by reducing the number of code lines, it's a double-paycheck score.

agreed:thumbsup:
I do not fear of failure. I fear of giving up out of frustration.

This look like obfuscators's poop... Obfuscator creates this kind of code all over the place ...

Bingo!!! Where is such company that pays that way... Can I have address and name of HR and name of the bar she frequents after work?
