When I was a T.A., a student came to me wondering why his
Pascal program wouldn't print anything. I compiled it
and ran it myself, and sure enough, no output. I looked
through the program, and the WRITELNs were there. This became
a problem I had to solve. I added some of my own, and
still, nothing was written to the screen.
After about 15 minutes of careful examination, I noticed that
the entire program had been commented out. This guy was
compiling a comment. I pointed this out to him, but he
said to me,
"Yeah but I had to do that. It was the only way to get
rid of all of the errors."
