Seymour is talking about maintainable large amounts of code should have at least alphanumeric labels. Numeric labels can be confusing unless you have a really good numbering scheme.
It still doesn't matter whether labels are numeric or alphanumeric, nor whether programs are large or small.
I suspect most programmers would not use numeric labels unless forced.
FORTRAN has numeric labels. Large or small programs. On Thursday, February 15, 2018 7:47 PM, Robin Vowels <[email protected]> wrote: From: "Seymour J Metz" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 16, 2018 3:58 AM
Numeric labels are okay for write-only code. They are very bad in code that has to be maintained.
Eh?
Labels are labels.
It doesn't matter whether they are alphabetic, alphanumeric, or numeric.
