put 1 into x
Point x: I am not a programming expert
Point x = x + 1: but some things seem to make my world harder to
understand
Point x = x + 1: and it is hard enough already
Point x = x + 1: you get my point?
Isn't it likely that the number 5 represents a count of something, i.e. ;
the number of buttons in a group
the number of working days in the week
the number of cups of coffee I drank this morning
the number of lines in a text field etc.
I would almost never use the number itself, rather I find the way of
describing the thing being counted and use the language to get the count
initially. Then I would use gGroupedBtns or tMyCoffees as the variable
name so I can remember what I was counting when I reference it later in
my code.
-- end of abstract thinking about abstract concepts
tMyCoffees = tMyCoffees + 1 (ahhhhhhh... that's better)

I have found Rev extremely intuitive except for one thing:
I wish it would parse
x = 5
(if not following an IF)
the same as
put 5 into x
I would like this for speed of scriptiing reasons, but not for logic
reasons - if that makes sense. It would be much faster to type "x = 5"
than "put 5 into x" but less logical.
When I first started to learn programming (many years ago), I came
across a line like this:
x = x + 1
My eyes glazed over as I tried to work out what they meant by this
obviously false statement! How can anything be equal to itself plus 1
- that's just crazy. So I'm happy to stick to "put 5 into x" and "add
1 to x" :-)
Cheers,
Sarah
