    O_o   You are nominating your own post for stupidest post ever?  Isn't that against the rules?

     

    Ohhh...  you are nominating russ0519 for the honor!  Don't you think that's a bit premature?  He still has the potential to create far stupider posts.

    Then post an elegant solution in your favorite language and let people vote on it.
    This is a loaded challenge.  I propose the following (loaded) challenge for you:
    Write a program that takes a list of names and addresses and let's you look up a name to get a person's address.  Here's how to do it in Python:

     lookupTable = dict(zip(names, addresses))

    ZOMG!  PYTHON IS TEH BEST PROGRAM FOR ADDRESS MANAGERS EVAR!  LOOK HOW ELEGANT!

     Do you understand now?

     

    Not really.  In my challenge, assuming that you have the DB table that I said you do, the page would run and generate output.  In your challenge, you are missing where the names and addresses come from.  

    Are they in a file?  Where is the code to read the file and put the data into the arrays?  

    Why don't you make a complete example and we'll see which language wins.  

    *sigh* I didn't think you would.  Clearly, my example assumes you have the data in variables already.

    Also, they aren't arrays; they are lists. Think of them as arrays and you'll miss out on all sorts of expressiveness in Python.

     

    Well if you assume that you have data in the variables already then i give you this

    <cfset lookupTable=lookupTableOld>

    See what I did there?  I already had the data in the struct called lookupTableOld.  I just copied it to a struct called lookupTable.  Much more elegant then your code.

    Now how about a real challenge.  I'm going to assume that the data is stored in flat files, since you are so afraid of the DB's, and think that the CF example is loaded because CF has built in DB support.  

    Here is the solution in CF:

    <cffile action="read" file="names.txt" variable="names">
    <cffile action="read" file="addresses.txt" variable="addresses">
    <cfset NtoA=StructNew()>
    <cfloop from="1" to="#listLen(names,chr(10))#" index="x">
        <cfif ListLen(addresses) lte x>
            <cfset lookupTable[Trim(ListGetAt(names,x,chr(10)))]=Trim(ListGetAt(addresses,x,chr(10)))>
        </cfif>
    </cfloop>

    No, it's a loaded challenge because you want to use this example as proof of the quality of the language. But fine, here's a simple way to get the variables:

    names = [line.strip() for line in open('names.txt').readlines()]
    addresses = [line.strip() for line in open('addresses.txt').readlines()]

    Hey VB is cool with me, know it pretty well too. But remember russ insisted on flaming VB and everything... and yet look at CF... I mean cmon... at least VB.NET requires you to know at least a LITTLE of what you are doing.

    But that... well that is just HTML with DB support.
