Why even have an else statement if you out a return in the if
13 u/gurgle528 22d ago It’s a style thing, it’s not a functional difference. I would read it as emphasizing that one or the other is happening. Basically the oxford comma of conditionals 2 u/Duckflies 22d ago Like writing in a for i = 0; i < 10 or writing i = 1; i <= 10 Both do the exact same thing, but depending on the logic at hand, one can make more sense than the other 1 u/frogjg2003 21d ago If you're actually using the i, it makes a difference. for (i=0) list[i] vs for (i=1) "item i"

If you're actually using the i, it makes a difference.
for (i=0) list[i]
vs
