bool isNumber(const char number)
{
std::string tmp;

tmp += number;

}

*facepalm* Man, this is WAY too familiar. I can't get over the call to findIgnoreCase()!

This is easily the best post I've seen to date on this blog.

Whoever wrote that should never again be allowed near source code.

The whole thing (short as it is) is a menagerie of fail, but possibly my favorite mindfuck is is that the passed in character is being checked for being a number, yet the author got a little ahead of himself and called the character var "number".

I'll admit, that tripped up even me. I thought at first he/she was running the + operator on a string with RHS being an integer.

*brain melts, oozes out of skull*

I saw _better_ variant =)

bool IsDigit(char c)
{
String str("012345679"); // no '8' !!!
return str.SubstrIndex(String(c)) != -1;
}
