What if
roleisFILE_NOT_FOUND?!if it's
'FILE_NOT_FOUND'then the string will be read as truthy and you will get'User is admin'logged.Ackshually three equal signs check for type as well. So mere truthiness is not enough. It has to be exactly true.
Also, everyone knows FILE_NOT_FOUND isn't a string but a boolean value.
yeah, it's funny how my brain collapsed the boolean check into
if (role)rather thanif (role === true)- that's trickywhat is
FILE_NOT_FOUND? I can't find much on it ...FILE_NOT_FOUND is from an old story on thedailywtf.com. Someone created a boolean enum with TRUE, FALSE and FILE_NOT_FOUND, if I recall correctly. It's been a recurring running joke.
thank you for letting me in on the joke ๐
and for catching my error!
Welcome! I guess this is your Ten Thousand moment for a mediocre joke for old programmers. ๐ช๐
haha, yes - exactly! At least I got that reference, xkcd is pretty well known, though.
I see that they've gone back to the name "The Daily WTF". For some time, they changed to "Worse than failure" in order to avoid not even the word "fuck". ๐คท
