Still learning - code efficiency, which of these is better?

Thanks for the reply. I get what you mean. One thing I realized though is that I actually posted the wrong code from their solution, so my question probably doesn't make a lot of sense. I already shut my laptop down, but I will update it tomorrow so it makes more sense, though I don't think your answer will be much different.

And you are correct, it is more a question of readability. Thanks!
