Undefined behavior can go bad quickly.

Could go the other way though. Ask them nicely if they’d be willing to free up their heap of inventory, and if they return you a cart overflow, you know you’ve stumbled upon the ultimate zero day coupon.

I give money to cashier, change comes out of coin dispenser. I say “Looks like I won again!”, cashier dies a little inside.

Every time.

Long long ago in a callcenter not too far away, I made a guy choke on his drink. As required, I asked if there was anything else he needed before I ended the call, to which he replied “the winning lottery numbers?” I said “if I had those, I wouldn’t be talking to you.”

No, but these nulls might indicate references that previously pointed to memory that was freed.

Unhandled exception leads to panic

I worked in groceries story when I was younger.

But funily enough, it’s probably one of the rare times I’d have answered “yes”!

We got a policy here where anything mislabelled under 10$ is free for the first item. Anything over 10$ gets a 10$ rebate.

My understanding is that it was put in place a while ago when stores stopped labelling individual items to keep them in check and ensure that consumers had a recourse in case of mistake.

NULL being “no money” by any definition, and the regular price for this probably being under 10$… well, it’s probably free!

Everything is free. The problem is avoiding the cops afterwards.

How about

Class lol : Object
{
public static init void main (string args)
{
    virtual void A_Start()
    {
          Java.Print(args)
          break
     }
}
}

In case it’s not clear, I know nothing about Java.

Real world doesn’t make exceptions. So you’ll get UB.
