My own DailyWTF

Today I was going through some Java code that was basically a straight port from VB 6 to make sure the functionality was there. During my review I came across the following:

In a private method:

int[] qtrMonths = {0,0,0,0};
for (int i=0;i<4;i++)
qtrMonths[i] = ((i+1)*3)-2;

Notice that the only variable that changes is the counter “i” :)

Wonder what the original VB guy was thinking on this one.

  1. Probably wanted to make sure ‘i’ is at 4, and wanted to debug it out.

    You know these VB 6 guys….

    Are you saying this code runs and does something? The 1.5 compiler reports this as an error; you can’t cast from “int” to “int[]“.

    Actually its brilliant! It leaves open the possibility of using the Aztec calendar!
