What is the worst code you have seen at work?


I wrote a simple game for CS project last year, and it was pretty bad. All logic was opaque, and there were tonnes of global variables!

There were 2 function's called something like convert2Upper and Convert2lower (Don't remember the exact names) in Java that took a string broke it into characters and for each char did the following:

If (InputStr[$i] == 'a') InputStr[$i] = 'A'; If (InputStr[$i] == 'b') InputStr[$i] = 'B'; .. .. If (InputStr[$i] == 'z') InputStr[$i] = 'Z';
