It is worth noting that the following does not work the way a mathematician might expect:
if (0 <= x <= 99) // ...
This is legal, but is interpreted as (0<=x) <=99, where the result of the first comparison is either true or false.

He was on his way back to Khartoum by way of Saukin when he received a curious message from the Khedive, who asked for his help on a serious and immediate problem. It had occurred to the Khedive, always plagued by debts, that the man who seemed to be so successful in sorting out the tangled intrigues in the Sudan might also be able to sort out his tangled financial affairs. Would Gordon come to Cairo and settle his British and French creditors as he had settled the slavers, rebels and wild chiefs of the Sudan?

Something went wrong. He never planned to spend so long waiting. Maybe he did not know of Juniper's preoccupation with preserving the dead.

Many world languages reflect this belief. The Irish word for knee (glun) and the Latin (genu) share the same root as the word generation. The Assyrian and Babylonian word (birku) signified either knee or the penis, and the Anglo-Saxon cneo maegas means knee-relation (kinsman).

Not requiring skill from a player should be considered a cardinal sin in games design.

"It is the king, or his ghost! What devils work is this?"
"Devil's work to match devils!,"mocked Conan, his lips laughing but hell flaming in his eyes.

Local variables in a loaded or required file are not propagated to the scope that loads or requires them. For example, here's a file called included.rb And here's what happens when we include it into another file.

You have to use parentheses to get the desired effect:Now you get the result you wanted.The comma operator has higher precedence than any other operator except casts and property and array references.

If a slow, smooth pitch change is initiated, the needle moves with minimum lag to a point of deflection corresponding to the extent of the pitch change, and then stabilizes as the aerodynamic forces are balanced in the climb or descent. A large and abrupt pitch change produces erratic needle movement, a reverse indication, and introduces greater time delay (lag) before the needle stabilizes. Pilots are cautioned not to chase the needle when flight through turbulent conditions produces erratic needle movements.

In Smalltalk, you can reuse the standard copy method inherited from Object to clone any MapSite. You can use MazeFactory to produce the prototypes you'll need; or example, you can create a room by supplying the name #room. The MazeFactory has a dictionary that maps names to prototypes.

It's Prototype! Yay!

"We need to know where that point is," says the Main Guy. "Exactly where it is. We need then to stay on the right side of it."

If the circle intersects the rectangle, we divide it into quadrants and do the trivial accept/reject test for each. These tests may lead in turn to tests for octants. We can then compute the intersection of the circle and the edge analytically by solving their equations simultaneously, and then scan convert the resulting arcs using the appropriately initialized algorithm with the calculated (and suitably rounded) starting and ending points.

Extra points to whoever can guess what pattern they're talking about.
