In my opinion, both are good ways to express the same thing. The second one is more expressive; but we all can store a 3-lines snippet of code in our short-term memory. The interesting question here is: is table2 a possibly long list? If yes, then can we convert it to a set, without impairing the clarity of the code? Bruno
