Interesting article, but it only has backward links. Is there a list that links to all 11 parts available somewhere?

if(guess == random && !(guess != random))

Can we call it an example of "psychotic" programming? Laugh | :laugh:

Bye By(t)e Wink | ;-)

This is my five cents Wink | ;-)

if(guess == random || guess != random)

well... maybe the coder wished to cover ALL cases... Laugh | :laugh:

Found in an article approved not too long ago...
And no, I didn't throw out case 5.

public int Volume
{
  get { return this.volume; }
  set
  {
    if (value < 0) { this.volume = 0; }
    else if (value > 10) { this.volume = 10; }
    else { this.volume = value; }

    //  Set it on Windows Media Player

    //  Fix up

    switch ( this.volume )
    {
      case 0: this.volume = 10; break;
      case 1: this.volume = 9; break;
      case 2: this.volume = 8; break;
      case 3: this.volume = 7; break;
      case 4: this.volume = 6; break;
      case 6: this.volume = 4; break;
      case 7: this.volume = 3; break;
      case 8: this.volume = 2; break;
      case 9: this.volume = 1; break;
      case 10: this.volume = 0; break;
    }
    
    this.volume = this.volume * -100;

    this.player.Volume = this.volume;
    //System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(this.player.Volume.ToString());
  }
}

Why would you? Anyone can see it isn't necessary and the original author has optimised it out for efficiency reasons. Laugh | :laugh:

How about:

this.volume = 10 - this.volume;

Or is that too verbose?

mav.northwind wrote:
this.volume = this.volume * -100;

So, first prevent setting the volume to any value lower than 0 and than set it way below 0 every time?

Good job causing an endless recursion...

I just love the effect of

this.volume++;

From one of the articles on this very website a description of a function named Open:

Opens an existing WAV file. Returns a String, which will be blank upon success, and upon error, will contain the reason it failed. This method will throw an exception for a more serious error.

got link to the article?

I think SQL Server calls that "Success with information".

All errors are equal, but some errors are more equal than others...

Seems I've heard that before. Maybe at that farm I used to work at? Cool | :cool:

public int CharToInt(char pcChar)
{
switch(pcChar)
{
case '0' :

return Convert.ToInt32(Convert.ToString(pcChar));

break;

case '1' :

return Convert.ToInt32(Convert.ToString(pcChar));

break;

case '2' :

return Convert.ToInt32(Convert.ToString(pcChar));

break;

case '3' :

return Convert.ToInt32(Convert.ToString(pcChar));

break;

case '4' :

return Convert.ToInt32(Convert.ToString(pcChar));

break;

case '5' :

return Convert.ToInt32(Convert.ToString(pcChar));

break;

case '6' :

return Convert.ToInt32(Convert.ToString(pcChar));

break;

case '7' :

return Convert.ToInt32(Convert.ToString(pcChar));

break;

case '8' :

return Convert.ToInt32(Convert.ToString(pcChar));

break;

case 'A' :

return 10;

break;

case 'B' :

return 11;

break;

case 'C' :

return 12;

break;

case 'D' :

return 13;

break;

case 'E' :

return 14;

break;

case 'F' :

return 15;

break;

default :

return 0;
}
}

Please,

Show some mercy and give the coder this:

String Test = "1Fa";
int Answer = int.Parse(Test, NumberStyles.HexNumber);

C#? how about some good ol'

ans = c_val > '9' ? (10 + c_val - 'A') : c_val-'0';

What's he/she got against the number 9? Smile | :)

Oh, nothing. 9 will get flipped to 6 automagically

Oh didn't you notice, analogous to square roots, they recently introduced rectangular, circular, and diamond roots to determine the size of the corresponding shapes when given the area. Luc Pattyn[^]

Issue this guy a prescription for a book that covers basic things like this... Good God, is this another guy who thinks he gets a bonus for writing the most (inefficient) code?
