How 'bout a diff to su:

if isWorking(/dev/breathalizer)
{
int number = user->blow()

if (number > .08) {
printf("No root for you!\n")
exit(1);
}
}

How 'bout making it a bit more reasonable:

if (number > .12) {

I got a "breathalizer" from my mother recently (still can't figure out
why) and it's some El Cheapo Chinese model that has just two LEDs (one
of them two-color). When the two-color one goes red, you're drunk (or
something like that). So just a binary operation would be needed:

if isWorking(/dev/breathalizer)
{
bool number = user->blow()

if (number = 1) {
printf("No root for you!\n")
exit(1);
}
}

With that, you will always be found to be drunk (and without root).

which from this shown tendency to test variables out of scope
and use assignments in place of tests is probably
safer ;-)

Personally my foolproof test to check if I'd better not
use 'root' is to try and open a file:

# vi smurf

if I get this output I know I'm well done:-)

smurf,v <-- smurf
ci: smurf: No such file or directory

Plus there's no bool data type in C (C++ yes but that sucks and is
evil!).

Everyone missed the boo-boo in my initial code, number should have been
declared float not int...

That would work for me because I'd never try to use vi unless I
was already quite inebriated!

Then the equality test (assuming a mistype) is very iffy.

Yup, Yeti made that change and it is a mistype. Ayaz caught it too.
Since Yeti changed it to a bool all he needed is 'if(number)'
