in thread What is code readability?
It was pointed out to me by /msg that in my "How many arguments?" example above, I made two changes between the two examples, and it was postulated that only one of these, the additional whitespace, contributed to whatever extra clarity was evident.
By way of further investigation, in which of the following is the number of parameters clearest to your eyes?
- someFunction( someVariable, someOtherVariable, andYetAnotherVariable, andOneMoreFor, luck )
- some_function (some_variable,some_other_variable,and_yet_another_variable,and_one_more_for,luck)
- someFunction (someVariable,someOtherVariable,andYetAnotherVariable,andOneMoreFor,luck)
- some_function( some_variable, some_other_variable, and_yet_another_variable, and_one_more_for, luck )
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
