.equals(), the other way

LMC — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:52:14 +0000

The new year bring with it a new project for me.
The new project came new colleagues.
And the new colleagues write funny stuff.
One colleague has his own way to check if two strings are the the same:


if (nodeId.compareTo("HEADER") == 0) {
	// ...
}
if (nodeId.compareTo("SHEET") == 0) {
	// ...
}
if (nodeId.compareTo("FOOTER") == 0) {
	// ...
}

Interviewer: So, if you have to connect to a db
Me: [nod]
I: if you have some problems during the connection…
Me: [nod]
I: how do you handle it?
Me: transactionality?
I: yes
Me: how do I implement it?
I: yes
Me: annotations. On an abstr…
I: no
Me: wha..?
I: wrong
Me: really?
I: yes, you close the connection in the finally block. That’s the right answer

Problem created, problem solved

LMC — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 13:53:04 +0000

Many thanks to Emanuele for submitting the code.

This is how you create the problem:


   Long.parseLong(Long.toString(id.longValue()));

And this is how you’re going to solve it:


   try {
           mId = Long.parseLong(Long.toString(id.longValue()));
           log.debug("id: " + id.longValue());
       } catch (NullPointerException npEx) {
           log.debug("NullPointerException npEx :: " + npEx.getMessage());
           return ActionSupport.ERROR;
       } catch (NumberFormatException nfEx) {
           log.debug("NumberFormatException nfEx :: " + nfEx.getMessage());
           return ActionSupport.ERROR;
       } catch (Exception gnEx) {
           log.debug("Exception gnEx :: " + gnEx.getMessage());
           return ActionSupport.ERROR;
       }

Someone said “If you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem”.
The guy who has wrote this chunk of code, eventually is part of both.

The hard way

LMC — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 10:22:37 +0000

If you have to initialize a boolean, you can use ‘true’ or ‘false’. It’s easy.

But if you feel a little more fancy you can use something like that:


	boolean result = (IU.getId_profile()+"-"+IU.getId_project()+"-"+IU.getId_LEV())
		  .equals(IU.getId_profile()+"-"+IU.getId_project()+"-"+IU.getId_LEV());

Date Parsing Perversion /4

function clearValueTab()
{
	var ITD="";
	for(var i1 = 0; i1 < 3; i1++)
		for(var i2 = 0; i2 < 2; i2++)
			for(var i3 = 0; i3 < 2; i3++)
				for(var i4 = 0; i4 < 2; i4++)
				{
					ITD=(i1==0?'N':(i1==1?'S':'F'))
						+(i2==0?'N':'S')
						+(i3==0?'N':'S')
						+(i4==0?'N':'S');
					if(document.getElementById(ITD+"_T"))
						document.getElementById(ITD+"_T")
							.parentNode.style.display="none";
				}
}

Hope that this stuff works. I’m not going to touch it.

Who is Max??

Actually in the codebase of the big TLC company, I guess (and hope) this code is unused
