Agreed. I like my code to self document to some extent and var doesn't provide this feature. C# (and C style?)

Re: C# (and C style?) honey the codewitch22-Jul-19 2:34 honey the codewitch 22-Jul-19 2:34  i use var as consistently as possible, with the notable exception of how i for over collections C# for(int ic=col.Count, i=0;i<ic;++i) {} but that's mainly for expediency and to keep my count variable to a narrow scope. i almost wish C# supported var there. i just like consistency in that. *shrug*. I think it's easy enough to tell what the variable is using modern tools such that explicit declarations aren't that important, but that's just my $0.02, YMMV When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite. Re: C# (and C style?) Slacker00722-Jul-19 3:05 Slacker007 22-Jul-19 3:05  I use foreach instead of for 99.9% of the time. That way I use var. I only use for when I need access to the loop pointer/index in a particular way, etc. Re: C# (and C style?) honey the codewitch22-Jul-19 5:46 honey the codewitch 22-Jul-19 5:46  you can use var with for, just not with the double initializer i use. for(var i = ... works for(var ic = foo,i= does not When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew.

For a site whose members are almost all C#, there is not C# listing. Perhaps that is what the C style is for...similar? short, neat unambiguous - C Eek Ten Bears21-Jul-19 22:34 Eek Ten Bears 21-Jul-19 22:34  C is good for variable declarations because its short, its neat, and its unambiguous. There is something to be said for more wordy declarations, it makes them easier to spot, but if your code is well commented, you don't produce overlong segments of spaghetti, and you use good variable names then that's hardly an advantage. Also I do a lot of SQL - I hate DECLARE, I hate the way you can DECLARE multiple variables after a DECLARE statement, it ruins my indentation and I have to spend ages fixing it Extra and pointless syntax? Meantime Python: I like the concept of Python, I agree it works well, and I like the idea of a strongly typed, dynamic language; but I hate the way its done, I just think its clunky, its like its been written by lots of different people, all with different opinions, and some of whom were a lot less clever than the others. {whispers off-screen} Apparently Python was written by lots of different people, all with different opinions, and some of whom were less clever than the others.

Well c-style wins because c# is #1 Mike (Prof. Chuck)21-Jul-19 19:55 Mike (Prof. Chuck) 21-Jul-19 19:55  ...but honestly... I don't think this is a real question/survey, because we don't have a choice, right? Whichever environment it is, where we (have to) work in, this is a law of the language used. It's not so, that we can choose in the dev env "I'd like to declare my variables in pascal-style". You have to use what the language offers. This survey is like "which grammar do you prefer" english, german or spanish style? You don't have a choice... if you talk in german you're better off with using the german grammar too, otherwise you won't be understood. So the only valid answer is: "I prefer the style the compiler understands, otherwise I will lose my job" || You know nothing, Jon Snow. || My Android Label (mbar Software) || My Android Apps in Play Store Re: Well c-style wins because c# is #1 OriginalGriff21-Jul-19 20:23 OriginalGriff 21-Jul-19 20:23  Talk in Yoda Grammar, you can.
