Unit Testing

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

Unit Testing

Post by johnsonevan »

I have 64 cents in my bank account. If I donate it Paypal will take like 50 so the best I could do is 14 cents.

I think your logic / math is flawed. :lol:

I... don't follow. PayPal takes about 50 cents when you send money, from my experience, so if I had 64 I could send 14 and give 50 to Paypal...

Oh hah. Well it's still your fault for not using proper units. I read that as "Paypal will take 50%". ;)

If only a single unit is used, multiple times, and a single number does not have a unit, my first assumption would be that it shares a unit with every other number in the statement. :\

e.g. "I was going 30 MPH, and then I accelerated by 20, and was going 50 MPH."

I would not assume the 20 referred to 20%.

It's open to interpretation, because it's not specified. I didn't exert much effort into logical analysis of the most likely unit, but rather automatically assumed a percentage as that is how Paypal decides what to take.
