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.

99% correct. Everything is right, except for the first line: "Not at all". Poke tongue | ;-P

They are implemented differently, yes. But this has nothing to do with the definition of Object. You seem to fail to completely grasp the difference between the concept of object and the implementation of the concept in the language.

If "An object is something that has methods and properties", you must accept that classes in C# are, in fact, objects. Special ones, implemented differently, but the concept has nothing to do with the implementation.

Static methods can access static variables and nothing else. This is the exact definition of object.

Right or wrong, useful or dangerous, like it or not Wink | ;)
I agree with everything you say, but it's not a point, just a technical digression.

Classes are objects? Let's see...
It has properties? Mmmmm, yes, it can.
It has methods? Again, yes.
Ipso facto, in C# a class can be an object. Everything else is simply judging the pros and cons of the actual implementation (which I agree with you 100%).

Bye!
