The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

Welcome to posting on CP. Smile | :)

I hope that there used to be more code in the try catch that would give it a reason to be there. Even if there used to be code that justified the try, when that code was removed the try/catch should have also been removed.
This is another fine example of code that might work, but really isn't good code, hence my sig. Smile | :)
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.
