Your view on coding "preference"

[Excellent2]

Just small scripts? So you're picking at Hypertext because he's generalized PHP scripts in his post, and you have to pick at it and say that he's totally wrong, it doesn't matter, few MS doesn't matter & that he should grow up... because you're just saying about small scripts.

Damn, you are more ignorant than I. Achievement + 1.

He generalized coding preference between most coders. Hypertext cannot accept that using "" or '' is down to personal choice. No, a few MS does not matter unless you're some time keeper with an OCD for quickness :rolleyes:

...wait a second. I think we've all forgot the most important topic/question - why is Pyroka in the web dev. forums?!

He's done enough spamming for today

It is not "bad coding practice" to use "" instead of ''.

Here are some benchmarks:





It's a matter of preference for things like this, there's times to use '', and times to use "", it's only a bad coding practice to use them irresponsibly.


I know the differences between them, and I told you.

Very interesting benchmarks, +rep if I can.

That makes sense. It really shows how slow adding parenthesis when they are unneeded is.


@excellent:

Reread my post, apparently you don't get it, I didn't have a main grudge on double/single quotes, it was about general coding practices, like people using parenthesis in language constructs and every other coding practice you can think of.

Charlie may say this topic was not started to caus arguements, but it clearly way. Anyone with anything between their ears would know that there are alot of strong and ignorant characters on this forum and no-matter what you tell them they are right. I don't see why people care about other people's coding preferences when if they worked on their own coding skills they could be in with a decent chance of getting alot more knowledge as they spend more time educating themselves rather than caring about other peoples code.

Things have never been done perfectly, look at america, iraq, the UK government. Let people find out by themselves that they were using bad coding preferences, after all the stuff they code is generally their resposibility.

Coding preferences don't bother me for that fact unless the person in hand acts as if they know it all. *cough* , not gonna mention any names.

OI LOL.

I'm doing serverside scripting, web management and some other crap to do with Python in College, so I guess it'd be nice to look around a few scripts.

God I hate Python.

I had to write a module for Trac, that wasn't fun.

Either way, it's not consistent enough to say that using '' on a $_GET and "" on an $_GET is "bad coding practice".

All "" is, is an advanced ''.

I love Python, it doesn't get in a stressy when you type 20 if statements in sequence of eachother.

Plus, I used VBA as my first coding app so I'm pretty much susceptable to anything.

True. One is good for one thing, and one is good for another. But sometimes people do it the wrong way.

@Pyroka: Oh lord. I have a VB class, which I just dropped for an independent study on Java. The course is Computer Science AP AB, for anyone interested go to apcentral.collegeboard.com and navigate to it. This course is really cool, regardless of it being a little boring at the start. But yes, VB is painful, and VBA is more painful, (so I've heard).

So now you're agreeing with Dentafrice because he proved you wrong?:rolleyes: So your only grudge with coders on here is because they using parenthesis in language constructs, jesus boy you got problems in life.

[Dentafrice]

If someone does this, yeah it's wrong.. why do that when you can easily use doubles.

echo 'hey der ' . $nakdlnsfs . ' wej' . $adif . 'sdkfjl' . $dsklfj . 'skfjdsklf' . 'dskfjskdlfj' . $sdkfjs; 

vs

echo "hey der {$nakdlnsfs} wej {$adif} sdkfjl {$dsklfj}skfjdsklf dskfjskdlfj {$sdkfjs}"; 

Of course the bottom one is right.
