minus-squarefour@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·16 hours agoWhat I like about using if and else for that is that you’re already using those keywords for branching in other parts of the code. Though my least favorite is probably Python’s: x = "foo" if y > 5 else "bar" It just seems backwards to me
minus-squareUnfortunateShort@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-24 hours agoBecause Python wants you to read it like English: x is “foo” if y is greater than 5, else it is “bar”
minus-squarethebestaquaman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-214 hours agoWhile Python’s version does feel a bit backwards, it’s at least consistent with how list comprehensions are set up. They can also feel a bit “backwards” imo, especially when they include conditionals.
minus-squarefour@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·13 hours agoList comprehension is another thing I don’t like about Python :) There’s more of those, but one thing I do like about Python is that I get paid for writing it, so I try not to complain too much
minus-squarekryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·12 hours agoI love list comprehension. Best part of the language, imo. To each their own.
