在SQL Server中，如果你在生产代码中使用select *，你可能会遇到一个令人讨厌的意外。无论如何，使用select *并不被认为是一个好的实践，但了解一些有趣的行为是很好的。

参见问题“select * from table”vs“select colA,colB etc from table”在SqlServer2005中有趣的行为了解更多细节

通知7。一个有效程序的例子:

    Chomsky is a room. 
    A thought is a kind of thing. 
    Color is a kind of value. 
    The colors are red, green and blue. 
    A thought has a color. It is usually Green. 
    A thought can be colorful or colorless. It is usually colorless. 
    An idea is a thought in Chomsky with description "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously." 
    A manner is a kind of thing. 
    Furiously is a manner. 
    Sleeping relates one thought to one manner. 
    The verb to sleep (he sleeps, they sleep, he slept, it is slept, he is sleeping) implies the sleeping relation. 
    Colorless green ideas sleep furiously. 

像图灵机模拟器这样的其他愚蠢的东西可以找到。

我一直在想为什么最简单的程序是:

class HelloWorldApp {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

然而它可以是:

print "Hello World!"

也许这是为了吓唬计算机科学专业的学生……

我很惊讶没有人提到大多数类c语言中丑陋的开关case实现

switch (someInt) {
    case 1:
    case 2: System.out.println("Forgot a break, idiot!");
    case 3: System.out.println("Now you're doing the wrong thing and maybe need hours to find the missing break muahahahaha");
            break;
    default: System.out.println("This should never happen -,-");        
}

好在新语言正确地实现了它。

在JavaScript中:

alert(111111111111111111111) // alerts 111111111111111110000

这对我在JSON中来回传递的一些64位键非常不利。

Algol通过名称传递(使用C语法说明):

int a[3] = { 1, 2, 3 };
int i = 1;

void f(int j)
{
    int k;
    k = j;  // k = 2
    i = 0;
    k = j;  // k = 1 (!?!)    
}

int main()
{
    f(a[i]);
}
