Because one's a style guide and one's a complete API reference?
- danielbarla 5y agoEven as a style guide, it's unnecessarily terse in some cases. IIRC, there's a line that says (paraphrasing): > Don't use continue. I've never seen a loop with a continue that wouldn't be better without it. And that's it. No examples, no objective criteria, we're just supposed to take the man at his word on this. Whether or not I agree with this particular case, I don't enjoy argument from authority in most forms, especially not in one where you are supposed to learn about a better style of programming.
