Funniest code snippet ever! Must See!

select case selectedCruiseline
case "1"
selectedCruiseline = 1
case "2"
selectedCruiseline = 2
case "3"
selectedCruiseline = 3
case "4"
selectedCruiseline = 4
case "5"
selectedCruiseline = 5
case "6"
selectedCruiseline = 6
case "7"
selectedCruiseline = 7
case "8"
selectedCruiseline = 8
case "9"
selectedCruiseline = 9
end select

Had to troubleshoot a customer whose ASP website is bringing down the server. If I hit a certain URL the
dllhost.exe process consumes all the CPU and all the RAM! Administering shared hosting feels more and more
like being a babysitter. The above code is actually used in their website!

 

[Fiveohhh]

Hmmm if I only knew what that code would do

 

[slackerinabox]

HAHAHAHa haha! haha.. hah .. ha.. ha.. ok, it's not that funny.,

 

[rh71]

That's not the dumbest I've ever seen...

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

pure stupidity.

I bet the person who coded that worked on Bestbuy.com. Horrible horrible experiences with the site and security.

 

[Electric Amish]

Wow. Way to throw in an unneeded Case statement.

amish

 

[notfred]

That's about the most redundant thing ever.

He didn't claim dumbest...just funniest.

 

[dabuddha]

It's the equivelant of:

If this number is 1, make this number be 1.
If this number is 2, make this number be 2.
...
Up through 9...

They're using a select case to reassign the same value that was previously assigned to a variable.

It's worse than that, they're reassigning the value to the SAME VARIABLE.

I've only taken elementary C++, so I might not know what I'm talking about, but do you need 'break' statments when writing a case statement also?

Um, that's what I said. Unless you're differentiting between "this number" and "this number" and somehow thinking I implied two different variables...

It's VBScript

It's ASP code, not C++ did you read the first post?

My way of saying it was clearer.

Nah, that isn't funny besides the laughing at someone elses's stupidity.

Right, I know. But I was wondering if ASP uses break statements just like C++. So you didn't really answer my question.

Your way of saying it will only make sense to people who only know what it means already

Apparently not, since the code runs.

Since I don't know VB, is that actually completely redundant, or is it essentially converting a string to an integer?

It's a case statement. They're the same function in all languages that support it, only the syntax may be a little different.
