    Good question! When I first saw it, I thought there would be a very high percentage of correct answers since the confusing default lengths for character strings have already been covered in a few recent QotD's. But the results say that at this time, only 53% of the respondents have given the right answer, so there is obviously still a lot of need to keep driving this point home. Good job, magasvs!

    Nah... it just shows that 47% of the people are too lazy to run the code which is also why these are only worth 1 point. 😛

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
