Don't mind me, just writing silly code. Forgive my lack of strict. Yes, you're right -- there is nothing in the body of those loops. What if we are all nothing in the body of loops?

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl

$max = 50;

while (((!defined $i ? $i = 1 : $i++) and ($i > $max ? exit() : $i) and ($j = 1)) or (!$i))
{
   while ((!defined $j ? $j = 1 : $j++) and ($j > $i ? last : $j) and ($j == $i ? print "$i\n" : $i) and ($i % $j != 0 ? $i : last))
{

   }
}


Or, when spaced out,

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl

$max = 50;

while (
   (
      (!defined $i ? $i = 1 : $i++)
      and
      ($i > $max ? exit() : $i)
      and
      ($j = 1)
   )

   or

   (!$i)

)
{

   while (
      (!defined $j ? $j = 1 : $j++)
      and
      ($j > $i ? last : $j)
      and
      ($j == $i ? print "$i\n" : $i )
      and
      ($i % $j != 0 ? $i : last)
      
   )
   {

   }
}

In writing my string utilities in C I also wrote some bodiless loops, so Im not complaining I might post what I have so far pretty soon.

I guess when writing code, you need to know what the purpose of it is. If it's just meant to be used in practical applications, then I guess smaller code is better code (the one you posted is a good example). If however the algorithm is to be transparent, visible, tangent, then I think it's fine to write larger, clearer files.

Thanks for sharing btw.

btw v0ide, I would so laugh out lout if I saw that tattooed on someone on the streets.
