A friend of mine came to me with this strange behavior which i can't explain, any insight view would be appreciated.
Im running VS 2005 (C# 2.0), the following code show the behavior
int rr = "test".IndexOf("");
Console.WriteLine(rr.ToString());
the above code, print "0" which clearly show it should have return -1
This also happen in Java where the following Class show the behavior:
public class Test{
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Result->"+("test".indexOf("")));
}
}
Im running Java 1.6.0_17
