Hmmm… haven't you ever keyed 100 when you meant 10, or 1000. About 5
years ago I worked on a project that turned into about 5.5 million lines of
C code. Believe me, with THAT much typing going on, someone is going to
type in incorrect constant (I know, you #define everthing, right? So do you
write "for (x=ZERO; x<MAX_VALUE; X+=ONE)" ? I hope not). I know, good front
end design eliminates 99% of those awful bugs I mention, but what do you do
with that remaining 1% :^) By the way, I think MAX_VALUE is ok, just not
ONE and ZERO :^)
