If you where a compiler and you would like to express yourself about an index that was mistakenly out of bounds what would you say?
I would say something like this : - “Line 342 : Index out of bounds”
Read on to find out what Coldfusion would say!!!
In function ListGetAt(list, index [, delimiters]), the value of index, 1, is not a valid as the first argument (this list has 0 elements). Valid indexes are in the range 1 through the number of elements in the list.”
LOL!!
Wow, talk about a descriptive error message!
I guess they made it that long to make it absolutely clear that their array indexes start at 1 and not at 0.
But what kind of person would start indexing at 1? That’s like screaming, helLO, you skipped an element!
(What kind of person would use Coldfusion anyway…)
This is what I have to go thought to earn the bread on my table, sugar! I can’t get over the 1 as the first element.. brings back so many bad memories from Pascal! [sigh]
(I keep asking the same question! and hope my bo$$ is not reading this blog…)
