Define "trickyness" in for-loop pattern #148
Description
Activity
@bradym80 I was wondering the same thing. My assumption was that
i = i + iis easier to understand sincei++requires some previous knowledge about this iterator. Not sure if there are some performance differences.Anyway, I find
i++beautifully succinct and not tricky at all. :)When you write these expressions as
i = i + 1it's clear what the intent of the programmer was and easier to find bugs in the code where asi++prevents excess craftiness.Well, if
i++is too tricky I find it funny that in preferred 1 and 2 you usei--:)
On line 35 of the for-loop pattern the following comment appears.
// optimization 3 - substitutei++withi = i + 1ori += 1to avoid excessive trickinessCould you elaborate on "excessive trickiness"?
