All the people arguing that the code as was presented should is good and right, I present this: Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you are as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it? ~Brian Kernighan I couldn't tell that the second line in the code in question was an if statement at first without actually thinking about it. How is that helpful?
