Hm. Out of interest; how would you of wrote the following block:


Would you of gone for the if, elsif, else option, or maybe shorthand ? : etc?

Not sure. Personally I would use 'if' then 'else'. Not sure if there are any speed differences though

Not worried about speed differences (I highly doubt that there is a speed difference, anyway) just wondering more about the way people think :-)

I try to only use unless if there is one clause (i.e. trying to unravel things like unless (a and !b) makes my head hurt), and no else. I would have gone:

if ($query->param) { &print_results; }
else { &print_poll; }

Cheers,

I like to be different:

$query->param ? &print_results : &print_poll;

Edit: (and hate braces) {}

That is the way I originally did mine, but for some bizarre reason went and played with unless - I haven't used unless in a while so I threw one in.

On the other hand; for some reason I don't tend to use if, elsif, else unless I actually have three or more conditionals so I can throw in the whole if, elsif, else in. If I leave one of these three out I get paranoid that my program will break - bad experience with leaving an else out in my earlier days :-)

I just knew you'd use ? and :! :-) You're a big fan of those in your code I've noticed!

I find it nicer and quicker than all the if's/elses......you can make big long if/elsif/else but without all the crap.


Which is the same as.....

Not to mention Paul's method decreases file size and executes a tiny bit faster. I like that method as well
