    TITLE:Good code
    BODY:
    <div style="clear:both;"></div>I came across a piece of Java code so confusing today that I almost submitted it to the <a href="http://worsethanfailure.com/Default.aspx">Daily WTF</a>. It looked something like this (Variable names are changed to protect innocent trade-marks):
<pre>
if(fileLoaded ? fileIsTypeA : file.typeA)
    refresh();
else
    enqueueRefresh();
</pre>
I'm still not entirely sure what it does. My mind was mangled by the logic. I posted it to an internal newsgroup for the amusement of others, pondering who would have allowed such an abomination into the code-base.

Luckily CVS had the answer: It was me. I have no recollection of it, and have no idea what I was thinking or intending at the time. I don't even know if it works.

Luckier still that I didn't submit it to the Daily WTF.<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div>
