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.

I found this piece of PL/SQL code in application exporting data into financial system.
field_number is value of field type number (precision = 2)

trunc(field_number / 60, 0) || ',' || round(100 * (field_number / 60 - trunc(field_number / 60, 0)), 2)


ok, the code is pretty subtle but..
for example: what will be the result for field_number = 10 [min]. Let me guess, 0,16,67 ?
