This specific variant of that interesting game has you working as a programmer. And lo and behold, you work on a project with several people on it. And it's highly probable some 75%-90% of your work will be in a team, and some of that will be either maintaining code written by others, or writing code others maintain. People should write code OTHERS will understand. Irregardless of your personal preference, you are to use the prevalent / official convention in a given language when writing any nonpersonal code. Whitespace-sensitivity flames aside, this is one of the points on which Guido van Rossum is so right it ain't funny anymore. > ternary operator (A special form of if in c/c++) > Ternary operator isn't a special form of if in C or C++. I don't feel in the mood for prechewing and spoonfeeding, so no code snippets today. Also, for heaven's sake, LEARN a programming language before you flame it. > I have a workaround Which you shouldn't use.
