Re: "return" to break out of a loop

Back in the dark ages, when I was was at uni, I was taught that every programming construct should have exactly one entry and exactly one exit point¹

It sucked then, and it still sucks now. return inside a loop is perfectly acceptable.

¹Anyone else remember Jackson Structured Programming?

Unless I state otherwise, all my code runs with strict and warnings

Oh, do I remember! With the same relish as I remember being beaned in the head with a chalkboard eraser by my teacher for talking in class in 3rd Grade or of being paddled in the principal's office for getting into a fight on the playground in 4th Grade. Yeh, I remember. ack Albuquerque, NM	[reply]
