I used to have a C programmer working for me that reveled in
condensing multiple lines of C code to a single statement, much more
obtuse than that.

Aside from it not being readable, compacting C code
like that can reduce portability. Different compilers
may evaluate complex, compacted code differently.
Same thing has actually happened with BASIC code that's ported
from one platform to another.

This is one of the reasons why I continue to x=x+1 instead of x++
Not all languages support the ++, but they all support x=x+1

This has whole topic has been mentioned on here before, and my stance is the
same, if you can not read that code and work it out in 4 seconds, then maybe
you should
I agree, if it took you more than 4 seconds to work that piece of code
out you shouldn't be a programmer.
But if it requires working out and thus at least twice as long than
reading a simple if-then-else statement it's definitely not a brilliant
piece of code.

It's not about whether somebody can or can't read the code, it is about
productivity and avoiding errors. Why should it take 4 seconds to figure
out a line of code? 4 seconds times a thousand lines of code is over an
hour of wasted time.

Hi Tony,
That is high praise indeed! I don't know Mark, but he sounds like
someone I would enjoy working with very much. Hopefully he will get to
read this. I would like to make his acquaintance.
I have always worked hard to write clean, orderly code. That way the
poor sap (sometimes me)

What's wrong with IF S1 S2 THEN SMAX = S1 ELSE SMAX = S2?
Definitely more readable!
If it was hard to write then it should be hard to read, I guess.
