My first language was Pascal. It was
at a time in 2005 when computers were finally becoming popular
in Africa and our year was the first time a girls school from
our Province did a computer coursework for National Exams.
(That was such an achievement *sigh*)
"The teacher said ... Good
Programming Practice ... Use parentheses to format code.. or
I will deduct a point from your work when I feel like it."
Cant seem to let go of the behavior.
I use parentheses in all languages.
First time I saw Python code, thought
it had the most undisciplined syntax I've ever seen. Needless
to say, the coder was just plain lazy in using good variable
names and grouping code code so the script didn't look
congested. My Python code looks beautiful - with or without
parentheses.
Did I mention I'm also a neat freak??
Cheers!
