Fellow Monks,
Consider my next question a very basic question, purely for my own fun:
What is better or more preferred in the next example (and why?):
A)
my $T;
if ($hour > 12) {
$hour -= 12;
$T = 'PM';
} else {
$T = 'AM';
}
Or:
B)
my $T = 'AM';
if ($hour > 12) {
$hour -= 12;
$T = 'PM';
}
See the detail?
I was wandering what 'solution' would be better, since I run into these kind of thing regularly and it made me curious if there would be a 'common' way to handle this.
Rgds,
John

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
