Only when working solely with primitive operators that cannot be overloaded. Otherwise, code can easily lie. There is no shortage of methods like getFoo(), that only retrieves the latest 5 foo (unless it’s a Tuesday), but also removes the oldest foo, sends some random administrator a loosely related email, and might possible do a perfect frontflip and backflip to wrap things up (though not always, and we’ve yet to figure out why it doesn’t do the backflip before the frontflip).
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Riiiight :-)
code tells exactly what it does. sometimes it's not what you expect, though
