I always figured this was a nice joke but obviously not code that would ever actually be written by someone… Then I ran into this millimeter to inch conversion code in production this past month:
if (isNaN(mm)) return 0;
if (mm ==6) {
inch =0.125;
}
else if (mm ==8) inch =0.25;
else if (mm ==10) inch =0.375;
else if (mm ==15) inch =0.5;
else if (mm ==20) inch =0.75;
else if (mm ==25) inch =1;
else if (mm ==30) inch =1.25;
else if (mm ==40) inch =1.5;
else if (mm ==50) inch =2;
else if (mm ==60) inch =2.5;
else if (mm ==80) inch =3;
else if (mm ==90) inch =3.5;
else if (mm ==100) inch =4;

Even worse is, that the accurate conversion to one inch is 25.4mm.
even worse, the first
if
statement randomly has brackets while none of the others do
