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.

girl code is when you use little circles or hearts to dot the i :laugh: Coulda, woulda, shoulda doesn't matter if you don't.

I won't say wether or not it's code. But I will say, I quit mocking those who work in HTML they day I had to start learning it. I truly admire those who enjoy working in it. {ICK} Alas I am not one of them. If it were not for .Net I'm afraid I'd by trying to convince the world that the internet is bad and desktop applications are the way of the future. HTML does tend to make my stomach a bit sour though... My eyes get this glaze... My legs go to sleep... My feet start to tingle... I feel the need for a sudden bowel movement... All at the site of HTML in the raw. Makes me quite ill in fact.;P

HTML is a markup language. Not code. :) *Runs off* The elegance of code isn't as important as its neatness and readability. If your code is a tangled mess shaped like the Venus of Milo, congrats mate, real impressive and clever. Now maintain it. ;) I often make the mistake of keeping my code short, sacrificing readability in the process (ie, ifs on one line, even when brackets are involved: if(x) { delete x; x = NULL; } )

And 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 allow scrolling right/left if there is some "meaning" I don't want to cut, but I reduce it. If there's a complex if where similar long things are repeated, seperated by ||s, yes, they'll split lines, but in some cases of long series of "."s I keep it one line Regarding error messages I am crazy, regarding spaces left behind code blocks too. I read my code like a novel or even more, a goodly written rpg rule book. And i want it to look nice, and clear, and avoid the reader from thinking "what did we say that "curP" is??". I also write xml comments before every method, and many variables too. But sometimes, artistically, long names are not sweet. They can help, though, a lot with reading (after all, it's not me who writes them, it's the autocomplete). In extreme cases I had method names with 5 words :P (NEVER abbreviated).

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.

code must be attractive and attractive code is 1.reusable 2. meaningful 3. readable & short as possible, so it is the basic property of an attractive code.

That should not be a question of elegance, I think. In real life, one msut take a piece of code with a bug and find the solution quickly just because the customer need it. Well-formed and well-documented code is a healthy way of programming. regards, Miquel

I always format code to be readable for other coders - and for myself, a few projects later. But that's not for something like beauty or elegance: I cannot read my own code, if the brackets are not on the correct column. _________________________________ Please inform me about my English mistakes, as I'm still trying to learn your language!

One thing I do try to do is check my spelling!! Or maybe I just do not understand "got to" in you message. Is this a new code? If you made mistakes like that in you code, I do not think looking good would help. What about you?

I think you should take it easy and realise I made a grammar, not a spelling, mistake. Code wouldn't compile if it had that error in it so back off. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry!
eh, stop bugging me about it, give it a couple of days, see what happens.

Did you catch the mistake in the reply that I made? ;) I also like to have my code look a certain way though, but I do not put enough comments in for most people. The thing is, if your code does the job like you want it to... does it matter what it looks like? No it does not. Most will never even see you code. More power to you if some say you code like a girl, some of the best coders I know are girls. Quit bothering with the thoughts of others. It will only get you down. Dave

the real question is which should we value more highly, syntatical beauty or semantic elegance. PhilD
