Story 1: The Mysterious Case of the Missing Semi-Colons
It was a dark and stormy night, and Bob was coding away in his basement.
var x = 5;
if (x = 5) {
print("x is indeed 5");
} else {
print("x is not 5");
}
But little did Bob know, his code was about to unleash a catastrophe upon the world.
- The semi-colons were missing, and the code was doomed to fail.
- The compiler was confused, and the program was doomed to crash.
- The end result was a mess of epic proportions.
