    Looks like something that a compiler should easily be able to identify. :p

    Not sure if you noticed but we're talking 4 variables here:

    xOrY, xORY, leftToRight, lefttoRight ... Training my Sherlock Skills

    I have 2 questions:
    1.) What programming language is this?
    2.) Couldn't you have put...
    xOry = True;
    ...in the last line, since xORy has to be true, because of the first if statement?

    This is like Vogon poetry in code, where your stomach starts to creep upwards to strangle your brain as you try to grasp the abysmal logic.
