No, I never stated that, because I don't believe it.
Using higher-level concepts with fewer *tokens* will reduce the number of
bugs. It just so happens that few tokens usually result in shorter code.
I don't even consider comments when thinking about how long code is, because
comments aren't code.
Using shorter identifiers *may* reduce the risk of bugs if they're otherwise
so long that they obscure the essential complexity of an algorithm.
Seriously, would you write something like this?
for(int
indexOfAuthorInCurrentIteration=0;
indexOfAuthorInCurrentIteration<=authorsFromNameQuery.length;
++indexOfAuthorInCurrentIteration) {
Author currentAuthorBeingIteratedOver
= authorsFromNameQuery[indexOfAuthorInCurrentIteration]
// do something with the author
}
Do you NOT believe that shorter names would make the example clearer?
