在Java中从文本文件中读取一行。

BufferedReader in = null;
try {
   in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("filename"));
   String str;
   str = in.readLine();
   if (str != null) {
      ...
   } 
} catch (IOException e) {
   ...
} finally {
   try {
      if (in != null) {
         in.close();
      }
   } catch (IOException e) {}
}

啊。虽然我承认这并不奇怪……只是邪恶。: -)

更短、更习惯的版本:

try {
   BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("filename"));
   try {
       String str = in.readLine();
       while (str != null) {
          str = in.readLine();
       } 
    } finally {
        in.close();
    }
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

我最喜欢的奇怪的C语言是5[“Hello World”]，但因为已经发布了，我最喜欢的第二个奇怪的是Windows版本结构初始化黑客:

void someWindowsFunction() {
    BITMAPINFOHEADER header = {sizeof header};

    /* do stuff with header */
}

这条微妙的线条达到了以下效果:

Declares a BITMAPINFOHEADER structure Concisely sets the "size" member of the structure, without hardcoding a size constant (since many Window structures, including BITMAPINFOHEADER, follow the convention of specifying the size of the structure as the first member} Declares the version of the structure (since many Windows structures, including BITMAPINFOHEADER, identify their version by the declared size, following the convention that structures definitions are append-only) Clears all other members of the structure (a C standard behavior when a structure is incompletely initialized).

Python的三元操作符

在Python中，C三元操作符(c++示例:bool isNegative = i < 0 ?True: false;)可用作语法糖:

>>> i = 1
>>> "It is positive" if i >= 0 else "It is negative!"
'It is positive'
>>> i = -1
>>> "It is positive" if i >= 0 else "It is negative!"
'It is negative!'

这并不奇怪，而是一种特征。奇怪的是，与C中的顺序(条件?答:b)。

С#:

var a = Double.Parse("10.0", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); // returns 10
var b = Double.Parse("10,0", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); // returns 100

在不变区域性中，逗号不是小数点符号，而是组分隔符。

据我所知，对于一些地区的新手程序员来说，这是一个常见的错误。

Perl

my %h1 = map { $_ => 1 } qw/foo bar baz/;    // construct an 'is_member' type lookup table
my %h2 = map { "$_" => 1 } qw/foo bar baz/;

第二行是一个语法错误，即使对一个有经验的perl程序员来说，它看起来是一样的。perl的缺点是总是试图做你想做的，而不是你说的。

我喜欢Smalltalk中缺少运算符优先级

2 * 3 + 4 * 5 = 6 + 4 * 5 = 10 * 5 = 50

而不是

2 * 3 + 4 * 5 = 6 + 4 * 5 = 6 + 20 = 26

这是由于smalltalk的对象性质和消息从左向右传递的事实。如果消息*以数字3作为参数发送给2，则该消息的响应为6。太棒了，如果你觉得邪恶，你甚至可以用猴子来修补它。
