@lostinmyworld how about 'online' and 'offline' ? Can you find me a third state here?

@lostinmyworld Well this is exactly the reason why I put the note at the end and no it doesn't have any states it's either empty or allocated and you'd never get a third
Boolean Logic....
100% Real. And it's not even the worst on the site.
So we had a class that should have 2 states 0 or 1, you think my coworker would be smart enough to represent it with a Boolean? NO!
Represent the state inside the object as an int then when using the object in a function creates a Boolean that determines the state of the object and after the function done it's job THEN call another function that takes the object and the Boolean and change the int state inside the object depending on the Boolean.
Wouldn't it have been whole lot easier to just you know..... Make the state a Boolean from the start.
When I saw this I knew I was witnessing a miracle of the human mind. God bless!
Ps: it wasn't connected to any kind of API nor server and there are never more than 2 states. It's just some local sequential code so don't assume it had a logical reason it's just a fuck up.
