Counter.java

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.

int myCount;

/**

* @param init is the initial value of the counter

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

* Returns the value of the counter.
* @return the value of the counter
*/

return myCount;
}

/**
* Zeros the counter so getValue() == 0.
*/

{
myCount = 0;
}

/**
* Increase the value of the counter by one.

Wow, your rant actually touched me. But keep in mind that restrictive languages allow for automatic verification which is something qualitatively different from testing and human code reviewing. No matter how good a programmer is, there is always a critical mass of LOC above which he won't be able to keep it all in his mind, and the only way to ensure the absence of at least a subset of errors is through automatic program verification.
