Code like a girl

Do engineers and programmers care about concepts like beauty and elegance? Should they? "As for spending too much time on making the code look right down to the last indentation - my code has been called “girl code”"

I find that well written code often does look aesthetically pleasing, however obviously some effort should be put into readability. I always try to ensure that my code does "look" good, atleast to my eyes:
for (int iOperand = 0; iOperand < 3; iOperand++) { if (pToken->iToken == TOK_IDENTIFIER || pToken->iToken == TOK_OBRACKET || pToken->iToken == TOK_INTEGER || g_aTokens[pToken->iToken].m_iClass == TOKEN_REGISTER) { pInstruction->apOperands[iOperand] = Parse_HandleOperand (pInstruction->iOpcode, &pToken); if (!pInstruction->apOperands[iOperand]) return NULL; ++pInstruction->iNumOperands; } else break; }Just as an aside; I have never met a female programmer before... -

a) Yes, it's not difficult, given the tools we have these days b) If there's any conflict, I prefer to perfect my code's inner beauty. ;P

only when the program behaves.... When there are bugs.... out comes the axe. one of my previous bosses and I had many conversations over whether or not Software was "science or art". I don't think this is an "or" situation, nor a 50/50 scenerio. Based on the user's experience he/she will make it more or less art. In her case she was a pure science person, software was rigid, there was only one way to do things. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

Would you say readable code is beautiful code? Or can it be readable but rather plain? I guess we have to be careful with the word elegant here as it can apply to the design as well as the syntax. I actually like to make elegant, or beautiful, syntax. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry! K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

doAnd let us not forget error messages! We, of course, all remember and love this: haiku error messages[^] But I try to write my code for utmost readability. It ain't easy, but it is worthwhile. And I still say being a column nazi (80 cols MAX) is the way to be. I should not EVER have to scroll to the right to see what code does. JUST UP AND DOWN!!! Err, sorry. ...Steve

I dont know. Judge for your selves: switch( pConfig->type ) { case CONF_REQ_IP_ADDRESS: if( (LongEndianSwap(*((PULONG)pConfig->data)) != 0xA0B0C0D) && (LongEndianSwap(*((PULONG)pConfig->data)) != 0xA0B0C0E) ) { pAdapter->ClientIpAddress = *((PULONG)pConfig->data); } pAdapter->confIPaddress = TRUE; break; ... NOTE, this is actually 4 space tabbed and isnt displaying correctly. Nunc est bibendum
Or maybe: while(*p++ = *q++); This statement is false.
