For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
if you're trying to be malicious, wouldn't it be better to multiply by
Rand()
instead of divide byRand()
?assuming there are a decent number of recorded sales, you'd end up seeing many of the calls to
Rand()
returning values very close to0
. so, if you're dividing by those values, you'd end see lots of sales records reporting values in the thousands, millions, or even billions of dollars. i feel like that screams "software bug" more than anything. on the other hand, seeing lots of values multiplied by values close to 0 would certainly look weird, but it wouldn't be as immediately suspicious.(of course a better thing would just be to use
Rand()
on a range other than[0,1]
