Re: switch vs elseif

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I regret that I don't recall who made the brilliant observation that 
programmers spend the majority of their time *reading* code (their own or 
others) as opposed to *writing* code.

So, I make it a point to try to make my code easily scannable. I only and 
always use the switch construct when evaluating the value of a single 
variable. The switch then tells me that at a glance when I'm reading code, 
and I don't have to plow through a bunch of elseif clauses to get the big 
picture of what the code is doing.

The bottom line for me on this issue is the "bottom line" - productivity.
