Seriously, I'm not calling them though. The last thing I want to do right now is call up a bunch of weirdos.

Did you not detect the sarcasm in his post?? I can recommend several places that let you rent a SenseOfHumor.

I agree he misunderstood my post, but there wasn't any sarcasm in there.
In case you don't understand, those two blokes are Pakistanis (the country code is 92). Most Pakistanis speak Urdu, which is just a b-dized version of Hindi.

The first has no name, the second has a cell number equivalent to a large negative number...lol.
The first also has pretty bad naming conventions in place (or is just a lazy typer). My thoughts are he should use access to do the work in a normal, non-progammatical format.

I found a piece of javascript code when i did a code review. I am just sharing with you
function getState(radioButton)<br />
{<br />
if(radioButton.checked == true)<br />
return true<br />
else<br />
return false<br />
}

We have a principle engineer that has a habbit of doing something like this.
Always makes me laugh.

Hi, I actually have this kind of "mania/panic" coding style. But I have a reason.
Many times I found while programming functions that call other functions made in another language that in one language TRUE value is 1 but in others TRUE value is -1.
So... the ideal is always compare if a variable is different or equal to false to prevent problems but many coders, like the e.g., compare values with true. If the variable i'm comparing was retrieved in a function in other language, problems may arise.
Best regards,
Mauro H. Leggieri

#define FALSE 0
#define TRUE (!FALSE)

In Visual Basic TRUE is -1... in most languages TRUE is 1.
For e.g. if I call a C function in a dll from visual basic and the return value is a boolean you will have problems if you test the result against "true".
Best regards,
Mauro.

Not necessarily. False is normally 0, and True is any non-zero value.
|

Yes... but like the first post of this thread, you find lots of code that compare values against true instead of doing it with false where its value does not change across languages.
Best regards,
Mauro.

And by the same token, you must be careful in C when calling VB code to use -1 (VARIANT_TRUE) in boolean parameters.
It's easier by far to just avoid VB... or failing that, wrap such ugly interactions in a dedicated facade such that you can continue using the boolean type in your language as it was intended.

How about we just shoot all the numpties* that learn VB (that was sarcasm: I am one), just to get into the swing of it, you know, hobbyists? People that aren't getting paid to learn modern-day hieroglyphics for an extra 20% performance in their app, [to cue the sarcasm again] because they are noobs and know not the way of truth, light, and irritating bugs to do with random punctuation mistakes.
[Start of ostentatious, verbose humour, with nationally-specific "u"]
* To prevent a language war, a "numpty", or pl. "numpties" is Scots slang for someone who is incorrect or inferior on a matter. Note that it is about as offensive as mistaking the gender of someone's budgie.
Example: "Ye** should be passing parameters here, not using a global variable, ye numpty."
** "Ye" is a reference to "You". No, not you, "you".

Wait now, i'm confused - which language was it that decided only one value out of 4 billion+ available was valid as true?
(but that's the problem with grand abstractions - they tend to leak around the edges...)

In otherwords, huh? Oh, you're insulting VB? Ach, shameful.
I'm not fussed about defending VB, so long as someone realises it is at least easy to learn, using less than all of the keys on the keyboard.
I'm just here for the humour; he says, getting serious and rolling up his sleeves...;P

How many values do you think should be equated to true?
