No juice left for a battle, eh, FRUIT?

Battle??!!! Is that what we're doing here? Anyway...I was just offering an opinion regarding readability. Granted, if you don't want anyone else to read your code, it's a moot point.

Seeing that the code I quoted was a simple driver for your functions(ok...subs...whatever) I didn't expect it to be particularly difficult to follow.

Regarding your stated disdain for modularity (you did state that code shouldn't be read in piecemeal fashon)...then why did you bother with using subs in the first place?

Anyways, aga...no hostility intended or presented. Why the apparent attempt to get a rise by namecalling?

He was teasing ya dude, and besides, a mango is a fruit

[Agamemnus]

I actually called him a fruit once before. Sorry if you're offended Mango.

If read! If read...!

Thanks, Aga. I was just redoing an old program in a different way in Freebasic, and this is just what I needed. :rotfl:

I'm not trying to but in, but if pressing "Shift + Letter" is that hard then... I mean come on, its an extra button.

And using comments is helpful to not just other people reading your code, but to you. Think about it. 1 year later, you're digging through your junk folder and find this nice program. You decide that you want to try to fix it up a bit, remembering that there was some sort of bug. But now, you have no idea what everything does. You'll think to yourself "Why the h* did I do that?!" Why is this? Because you didn't comment.

Tidbit: That was one of the reasons for Y2K. *hint* *hint*

But, whatever you decide. Just remember that few people are going to want to be on a team with a someone who can't press the Shift key

[Agamemnus]

Well,

a. I don't know what you mean by shift + letter. (?)

b. I know what everything does in my programs unless they use external libraries... then it's just a memory issue...

c. See my previous comments made over a year and a half ago. Lol. :king:

Ahem...

Again, using periods as separators when they're not TYPEs isn't bad. QB also supports line numbers and GOTO statements, and it supports TYPEs. So you can't say that it's bad just because "i look like" I'm doing something.

Besides, what's easier to do -- dot or SHIFT+capital letter? Dot. One hand. And, less error-prone.

:wink:

Chances are that by next year you'll have a different style of coding, and will wonder why you did something.

:-? I don't get what you mean.

[Agamemnus]

The date.

That's why I didn't know what you meant by shift+letter. I could make the same argument about dots.

[Moneo]

Hey, Aga, haven't seen you around for about 6 months. Welcome back!

:o Oops, didn't even notice that this thread was two years old :oops: . But still...
