> WWJD? (What Would Java Do?)
Oh boy...
Admittedly that could have been seen as being in moderately bad taste but sometimes such things are too good to pass up on for me.... ;¬)
This is what we're trying to do, right?
int count;
3 % (++count) => count;
Basically what I'm trying to do is this;
//let's march;
++step%4 => step;
to generate; 0,1,2,3,0,1,2,3,0,1,2.....
This makes sense.
To me constructs like that are quite essential in -for example- generating a clock with a counter for a repeating beat, yes.
Of course, the answer to the question WWJD is
really "throw an error telling us why it makes no sense" rather "crash
outright." ;-)
But that's why we love this list.
Java just has more people testing it (at least right now, clearly this must be remidied in time).
Yours,
Kas.
