I see no need in posting gratuitously harsh messages like this one. As mentioned elsewhere, this probably was a simplified test case.


The problem for me with this post (even though I have bitten my tongue, unlike Marc Balmer) is that the poster has done absolutely no investigation into the problem themselves. The fact that the program falls over saying that it is "too complex" is rather trivial. But the poster stopped there and got hung up on the word "complex".

After looking at this for 10 minutes I found a much more interesting question.

Why does the compiler repeatedly assign the same variable? Couldn't the parser issue a warning or perhaps skip the subsequent assignments?

Now there's a question worth asking!
