the way i code uses ; a lot-- it puts statements together like this:
of course, the convention / recommendation is to not do that:
if you were writing (or cleaning up) a compiler that output python code, and it combined (some, not all) statements with ; like that, would you change it from the first way?
not a quiz, im very interested in peoples opinions (brief or otherwise) on this sort of thing in general. im always trying to understand peoples opinions on this. my preferences are already noted, im asking should i learn something. im sure that happens more often than its expected, at least.
i never even indented code (for almost 20 years) until i learned python. now i prefer it.
print(5) ; print (12)the reason i do this is because it fits more code per page, which makes it easier (for me) to read what im doing.
of course, the convention / recommendation is to not do that:
print(5) print (12)im aware that there are various ways to combine these statements together in purpose, but two print statements was just an example.
if you were writing (or cleaning up) a compiler that output python code, and it combined (some, not all) statements with ; like that, would you change it from the first way?
print(5) ; print (12)and have it output python code the second way?
print(5) print (12)if so, why? and if not, why?
