    After a batch of interviews, the second most notable thing is that where both ++i and i++ are possible, all candidates used i++ Having optimizied for older compilers I automatically opt for the "simpler" concept of ++i except where I explicitely need the postfix increment. (I now that it makes no difference to today's compilers, but it might still save some microseconds when compiling :rolleyes: ) so - Vote 5 if it's for(int i=0; i<n; ++i) , and Vote 1 if it's for(int i=0; i<n; i++) for you. if the "programming" in the title triggers a pawlowian in you, please vote 3

    ++i is safe there but a bad habit in other places so I stick with i++. Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

          ++i, for sure. Although a compiler may optimise, it's in theory more efficient, and never less so. Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder

                Strange for incrementing integers in for statements I use i++ For incrementing itterators I use ++it. Ant. I'm hard, yet soft.

                    Oh yeah! Remember the DEC Professional? They were kind enough to publish several of my DCL hacks. I recall (with awe) when DCL released with VMS 3.1 first offered the END IF clause. What power! :omg: /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com
