What's the silliest programming mistake you've ever done? [closed]
- by bgo
Despite not being a professional programmer, i use python or c to accomplish simple tasks.
Once I needed a nasty equation to use with various data for physics lab. I thought that it would take a few hours if i used some mechanic calculator. Then i've written a python script to make things easier but something was wrong.
After finding my mistakes one of which was forgetting to put ":", i realized that it had already took 2-3 hours, not to mention inventing satanic arithmetic techniques since i thought the errors was caused by my math :)
Sometimes when you don't see it, you don't see it!
Now i can find the syntax errors without thinking for a moment :)
Any similar annoying mistakes that you've experienced?
