A shitty reproduction of some shitty C# I dealt with years ago.

awful_coders.cs

// Somewhere near the top of the file
void does_absolutely_nothing() {
  return "0"
}

// Somewhere else in the same file.
boolean = does_absolutely_nothing();
if (boolean == "0")
   return Boolean.parse("true");
else
  return Boolean.parse("false")
