Another suggestion from Phil (morefood2001) that sounded interesting. The purpose of this game is to guess the missing line of code. It doesn't have to be an entire line and could just be a variable, function name, etc. When posting your code blank out the missing variable/code/line with ????? and offer upto 4 choices to select from.

Rules
1) The previous guess must be answered before you can post a new one
2) Don't post a new one until the guess is confirmed (by the author or other members)
3) Show what the expected results should display.
4) Offer choices

I'll start with a simple example:

Code:

$strCode = "CodeCall";
???? $strCode;

Results:

Quote

CodeCall

Question
What should go in place of the ???? in order for the above results to be displayed?

cout
printf
echo
display

Go!

int nums[3];

int i=1;

int result;

cin>>nums[0]>>nums[1]>>nums[2]>>nums[3];

result=nums[0];

while(true)

{

     if(result<nums[i]) rerult=nums[i];

     i++;

     ????

}

cout<<"the biggest value is "<<result;

output:


8

12

9

7

the biggest value is 12

choices:
1. If(i>2) continue;
2. If(i>3) breaK;
3. If(i==3) break;
4. If(i==3) continue;

Wing's makes sense, but how about 3. If(i==3) break;?

Sadly though you will never look at case 3 in that code and whats the point of making a case 3 if you aren't going to look at it?

Ok, so here is my example from real code that I have wrote:

<?php

/**
 * @author Phil Matu
 * @copyright 2007
 * @use To delete all IP Tracker records older than 1 day, can be run as a cron job.
 */
 
 //This is meant to run on its own every day at midnight EST.  No interaction required.

if (empty($dbusername)) { //incase login variables aren't set
 ???????????????????????
 }

$dbconn=mysql_connect($dbserver, $dbusername, $dbpassword) or die ("No connection: ".mysql_error());

$q = mysql_db_query($dbname,"DELETE FROM iptracker WHERE Time < DATE_SUB(NOW( ),INTERVAL 86400 SECOND)") or die (mysql_error()); //query deletes last 24 hours of data

?>

Choices:
1. $dbusername = "podnet_live";
2. include ("config.php");
3. $dbusername = array ("podnet_live", "password", "localhost");
4. $dbusername = new db();
