JavaScript Prank / Joke [closed]
Solution 1:
Greek Question Mark - Semicolon Prank
(Tested in JavaScript)
Replace one or several semicolons in a coworker or friend's code with the Greek question mark:
;
(source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Question_mark#Greek_question_mark)
If you compare the two they look exactly the same: ;;
The first
;
is a greek question mark, and the second;
is a normal semicolon.
The greek question mark throws a SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL
in JavaScript, and probably throws errors in other languages as well. Make sure you're saving the code file in Unicode/UTF-8.
