Couldn't agree more, however it's not just an exchange of foul words, but rather some physical damage that has to be administered!

Getting something to compile is the easy part, you know where the error occurs. But, figuring out why everything is fucked up when you run the program, thats another story.
Or looking thru 1k ~ 2k+ lines of a program a week later with no commenting anywhere in the program. Now THAT'S another sadistic and sad story.

The worst is 'type mismatch' - frickin hate that one

Oh just wait until you get NullPointerException.

The one I hate the most is what Frement said.. Having look through more than 7k lines of code to figure out why something works for some ppl and not others is the most frustrating thing for me.. Though I don't consider myself a scripter as I hate scripts.. Just like code lol. …Awkward…
Another annoying thing is when you write a DLL, it just says access violation and you have no clue why! Though I solved that one.. Just had to rename all variables in my DLL's to something awkward as if a script uses the same variables, it gets nasty with those errors :c

Most errors in programming languages are ok.
But php… when you open a file, by accident press space at the beginning, then don't use is, close the file with autosave. You just created a header already send error in a random php file.

That is true if you try to modify the header within the script, and does only occur when running PHP from Apache etc.
CLI version of PHP would just output that as " ".

java would allow you to do something like this:
if boolean := true then //(now it will always be true. I was trying check if boolean is true)
begin
Once I spend hours trying to figure out why my program wasn't working as supposed.. I didn't even know you could do that in java back then.
I think the worst of the worst is that the script works perfectly when u r looking at it, then leave it there few hours and come back to see it stop working :x force you to add debug throughout the script just to detect which part went wrong.

It always ends up that I forgot a comma or misspelled deposit. It IS the worst one of them all.
I hate runtime errors.
Also to note that guy is using eclipse.

NullPointerException is nothing compared to your C++ program crashing with a stack trace with no information you can actually understand. Gf 2+ hours trying to find the problem. :)

Same here! I actually debated trying to make Simba sing the hallelujah chorus every time it compiled without an error.

As im learning to code still i forget more than often and will spend a rather long time trying to find a error that's not there but a simple ; fixes my problem most off the time!

At least you know exactly what is where wrong. :)
same with 'out of range' errors.

If you ever did C++, the worst is the cApItAlS i.e.
string four; is not the same as string Four;

haha, that was me one time.
I was trying to make a script and after a lot of 'failed compiling', I got it.
The bad thing is that I tried to save it and I axidently closed it. lol

That's easy. Just take any computer science class and that would be pounded into your head so you'd never make that mistake. On the other hand, I hate those LNK errors.
