banana phenomenon
(foldoc) | banana problem
banana phenomenon
From the story of the little girl who
said "I know how to spell "banana", but I don't know when to
stop". Not knowing where or when to bring a production to a
close (compare fencepost error). One may say "there is a
banana problem" of an algorithm with poorly defined or
incorrect termination conditions, or in discussing the
evolution of a design that may be succumbing to featuritis
(see also creeping elegance, creeping featuritis).
HAKMEM item 176 describes a banana problem in a {Dissociated
Press} implementation. Also, see one-banana problem for a
superficially similar but unrelated usage.
