How do you prank a coworker or friend in a way that's hard to notice and fix? Preferably in JavaScript, and without having install any programs.
(Tested in JavaScript)
Replace one or several semicolons in a coworker or friend's code with the Greek question mark:
;
(source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Question_mark#Greek_question_mark)
If you compare the two, they look exactly the same: ;;
The first
;is a greek question mark, and the second;is a normal semicolon.
The Greek question mark throws a SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL in JavaScript, and probably throws errors in other languages as well. Make sure you're saving the code file in Unicode/UTF-8.
