Hmmmm
This has whole topic has been mentioned on here before, and my stance is the same, if you can not read that code and work it out in 4 seconds, then maybe you should not be a programmer. Code is code, read it , understand it, get over it .... -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Tony Gravagno Sent: 16 January 2012 18:50 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] Brilliant? or not? > From: Charles_Shaffer > Aside from it not being readable, compacting C code like that can > reduce portability. Different compilers may evaluate complex, > compacted code differently. Same thing has actually happened with BASIC code that's ported from one platform to another. Rule of thumb: Don't get cute. Spell out the code so that any dumb compiler or programmer can read it. On-topic: that makes my response to this thread, "not". One of our colleagues from the mid 80's wrote code that was so clean I liked to say we could eat off of it. I think he still reads this forum: So to Mark Vander Veen, here we are over 20 years later and I Still appreciate your code. Now THAT is Brilliant.
