Ha, It's exactly the same. Except EVERYTHING'S different.Originally Posted by skimask
You've changed the SYMBOL's to VAR's, removed the LET's and changed a binary number to decimal. And while the program now looks completely different. After compiling, the HEX file will be byte for byte identical to the original code. No changes. No fixes.
Since it doesn't look anything like the original program, the "guy that wrote it" now has to spend probably several hours searching colon by colon, trying to find what it was that you changed. (took me an hour)you know it, I know it, the guy that wrote it knows it and should be able to read his own stuff....and you don't have to scroll thru 17 pages of stuff to get to the end...
And won't he be pissed after doing all that, only to find out that it doesn't make any difference. Because it's exactly the same program, just written with different words, and a really bad format.
There's no way to follow the flow of the program. You can't see any type of structure. It's just a bunch of lines of code. Very long lines at that. My guess is that you have a Wide screen monitor and make the code fit a maximized window, all the way across the screen. For anyone with a normal sized screen, they're now scrolling left and right, instead of up and down. And when viewing in a browser, it all wraps around and you can't find where one line ends and the next one begins.
And one last problem ... There's no room for comments.
Come back to that program in 6 months, and you're going to need some laxitives for those Colon's.
On a scale of 1-10, I'd give this formatting a 9 for the the best way to NOT write your program.
