What is this code!

[Marvel]

Just a fun question...

What's worst;
Not getting your code to work? or Getting it to work but not understanding how it works?

 

[DonManfred]

the problem now is, I don't have the tiniest clue why it works.

How are you expecting anyone can help here? You did not uploaded a small project showing your "problem".
All we can do is guessing.

Edit: From my sight i would say not getting something to work.
But you also should know why it works.

THE REAL QUESTION

The real question is: "What is the real question?" ?

?? The real question is:
What's worst, not getting your code to work? or not even understanding how it works?

I think he was just breaking the ice not looking for an answer.

not getting your code to work?

this! 100% is the worst, when the code works and you are on time, just let it be and be happy. someday you will get it

It almost seems like asking: "Did the chicken or the egg come first?"

But in this case it's a bit different: if you don't know what you're doing it's obvious that you will get not one but several bugs.

If you discover the bug, theoretically you should have understood what you are doing.

You understood my post. I was so happy it worked, but I started to get bothered for not understanding why.

But hey, I will just enjoy my success for now and keep investigating why

It's easy: because of that "+1" ?

The key for me is (assuming that the code must be released to the customer)

• if it works but you can't be sure that it will always work --> only release it depending on the consequences of a possible failure (nothing, a call of someone shouting, losing some money or even a customer...)
• if it works and it is a well-proven algorithm or it can be tested to work on all situations --> don't worry be happy ?

You can always create a new thread for your "No Idea why" problems

 

[rabbitBUSH]

or Getting it to work but not understanding how it works?

BUT / / / / you can always ask the coder you borrowed it from . . . . ???

It all depends.
Let's go for part.

"42"

(Anytime the question doesn't make any sense, I just answer with a "42". )
