Re: Programming by the mathematically challenged

Hi Everyone,

It's Friday, so I thought I'd share the fun.

I had to work with this vintage 2003 RPG program with the following code:

C           $AMT1     IFNE 0
C                     ADD  $AMT1     $AMT
C                     ENDIF
C           $AMT2     IFNE 0
C                     ADD  $AMT2     $AMT
C                     ENDIF

I just wonder what was going through the programmer's mind: performance
improvement? i.e. an IF is so much faster than an ADD?
