SQLite允许你用你想要的任何数据类型来声明列。它查找一些特定的子字符串(“INT”、“REAL”、“TEXT”等)来确定相关性。
这使得它可以在你的类型声明:
CREATE TABLE Quirks (
X FLOATING POINT, -- = INTEGER affinity because of the "INT"
Y STRING, -- = NUMERIC affinity
);

在ColdFusion
Struct(又名Java HashMap)是通过引用传递的。
你可能认为其他数据类型的行为就像Java…
数组是按值传递的,wtf!
List只是一个普通的逗号分隔的字符串!
在fortran中(当然是77,可能在95中也是如此),未声明的变量和以I到N开头的参数(“In”组)将是INTEGER,所有其他未声明的变量和参数将是REAL(源)。这与“在某些情况下可选的空白”相结合,导致了最著名的错误之一。
正如弗雷德·韦伯在1990年的《另类民间传说:计算机》一书中所说:
I worked at Nasa during the summer of 1963. The group I was working in was doing preliminary work on the Mission Control Center computer systems and programs. My office mate had the job of testing out an orbit computation program which had been used during the Mercury flights. Running some test data with known answers through it, he was getting answers that were close, but not accurate enough. So, he started looking for numerical problems in the algorithm, checking to make sure his tests data was really correct, etc. After a couple of weeks with no results, he came across a DO statement, in the form: DO 10 I=1.10 This statement was interpreted by the compiler (correctly) as: DO10I = 1.10 The programmer had clearly intended: DO 10 I = 1, 10 After changing the . to a , the program results were correct to the desired accuracy. Apparently, the program's answers had been "good enough" for the sub-orbital Mercury flights, so no one suspected a bug until they tried to get greater accuracy, in anticipation of later orbital and moon flights. As far as I know, this particular bug was never blamed for any actual failure of a space flight, but the other details here seem close enough that I'm sure this incident is the source of the DO story.
我认为这是一个很大的WTF,如果DO10I被作为DO10I,并且反过来,因为隐式声明被认为是类型REAL。这是个很棒的故事。
更多的是平台特性而不是语言特性:在iPhone上,创建一个无限循环,里面有一些计算,然后运行你的程序。你的手机会发热,当外面冷的时候,你可以把它当手暖。
我曾经写过一种编程语言,它有一个“strfry”操作符:
"hello world"?
# => "wdo rlholle"
有用的,是吗?
Duff的C语言设备!
在C语言中,可以将do/while语句与switch语句交错使用。下面是memcpy使用此方法的示例:
void duff_memcpy( char* to, char* from, size_t count ) {
size_t n = (count+7)/8;
switch( count%8 ) {
case 0: do{ *to++ = *from++;
case 7: *to++ = *from++;
case 6: *to++ = *from++;
case 5: *to++ = *from++;
case 4: *to++ = *from++;
case 3: *to++ = *from++;
case 2: *to++ = *from++;
case 1: *to++ = *from++;
}while(--n>0);
}
}
