heh ... again though in large groups ... this becomes a bit of a problem since you all have to kind of be in sync with coding styles and courteous coding
I have seem cryptic java code ... but that is often from variables name temp,a,b,a1,b1 etc ... -----Original Message----- From: Hanson, Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2002 2:21 PM To: Maciejewski, Thomas Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: C vs. Perl No flames from me. One of Perl's strong/weak points is that there are too many ways to do something... I agree with that. But it is up to the programmer to implement solutions that make sense and are easy to maintain. I personally like having the power to do what I need to do, which makes it my responsibility to use that power wisely. Some things that I avoid: s/^\s*(.*?)\s*$/$1/,print for (<>); Instead I use this: foreach my $line ( <STDIN> ) { $line =~ s/^\s*(.*?)\s*$/$1/; # trim space print $line; } Of course if I had to write a one-liner to run at the command line I opt for the first... saves me lots of time and typing. ....Just be curtious when you code. Rob -----Original Message----- From: Maciejewski, Thomas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Subject: RE: C vs. Perl not to get flamed here but one of the reasons I dont like perl is that there are sometimes too many ways to do something ... and all of them are fairly cryptic ... people having different coding styles can really confuse the hell out of someone else that is trying to do some work with the code. While many may think that this is strong point of perl I see it as a limitation when working on larger programs. opinions? can someone post the main debate points for perl vs java for web development ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
