I thought it was gmail, but from the reply from someone not on gmail.....
The first thing wrong with the the code is the indentation. Or general
presentation.
There is none. I suspected the author, but would charitably blame the
sending email client.
I was not inclined to read the original code because it was unreadable.
To the OP:
Assume your code will be seen by others, even if you think it won't.
If you want comment/help with code, you must spend the effort to make
it effortless for the many eyes that will view that code.
Badly presented code: You spend 0s on it, 1000+ people spend 15s+
deciding to ignore it....
Good code: You spend 180s on it, 1000+ people spend 15s+ deciding to
ignore it, <10 people spend 5 mins looking at it and give
construstive comments...
