why the fuck do retards have to invent a goddamned class just to use a goddamned integer? have people no shame?

Counter.java

/**

* a specific value, incremented, and cleared.

public class Counter
{
int myCount;

/**

*/

* @param init is the initial value of the counter

public Counter(int init)
{
myCount = init;
}

return myCount;

/**

{
myCount = 0;
}

/**

}

Found more bullshit (I am not sure if the URL is meant to be satirical) from the same guy.

Huffman Coding, sounds like a good thing to have students play with. That I agree with. What's wrong? Everything else. Explicitly storing Huffman trees, actually using a tree for the algorithm, turning dozen-liners into multiclass ENTERPRISE monstrosities, and ignoring the simplicity and elegance of Canonical Huffman are things that no one actually does in the real world.
