This bug has a very easy solution, which works for all bugs really. You just deny its existence and say it is “Working according to the use case”. Matter closed

Or as put forward by Mustrum Ridcully Archchancellor of the Unseen University
The fastest way to deal with problems is to ignore them. If they are important enough someone will come to you with it rather than leaving a note.

@vbr…
hey it has been a very long time since u have posted a ppost

It may be that if the value of LAST is increased the code will not work as sum will exceed the maximum integer value allowed. This will happen even LAST is much less than the maximum integer.
Otherwise I don’t think there is a clue. The issue is similar to the bug in JDK (resolved now) to find average of two integers.

Sir the post is posted under humor and refers to the gif image of an actual fly embedded between the code.

Nice ankur, I thought that it was related to the flying bug, but it looks like my proxy server has banned the gif and so it was not visible here. I therefore thought that there is something important other than humor.
