I wouldn't use either of the above.
Style A has multiple returns from the function. That's one of those things
that's just fine right up un
Hi
When looking at this I thought in terms of C and how it would code in
assembly. I also considered how easy and quick it would be to do jmp
instructions. On a slow Z80 it may make a difference on a superfast modern
machine would the difference be noticeable?
Considering this Style B is fa

I tend to aim for a single exit point as well, with the caveat that

To me, Style A is much clearer and more logical. Style B is favoured by
those who prefer obfuscated code. Just my opinion, of course...
Perhaps more importantly, there is presumably a reason why, in some cases,
the fast path result cannot be used. Therefore the first line in Style B
will result in
Hi,
I'm not sure of the Bournemouth train comes this way but my experience with
Vodafone from Farnborough to Clapham Junction has been pretty poor.
I've asked a couple of people on different networks (Three and O2) on the train
how those work for them as I'm interested in a dongle. Both replie

If you were writing a function with a fast path and a slow path,
which style would you use to write the function?
Style A:
if can_use_fast_path:
return "fast path result"
# do slow stuff
return "slow path result"
Style B:
result = "fast path result"
if !can_use_fast_path:

Hi Folks,
Well OT I know, but I am always astounded by the depth and breadth of
knowledge on the list, so you are my first port of call on this one.
Essentially my father is totally blind and regularly reads audio books.
He prefers cassettes because of the ease of operation of cassette decks
