Why does Python not offer ++? It annoyed me back when I cared about Python at all.
Follow
@vaporeon_ some people don't like the ++ shit because it leads people to make logical errors, which I will admit just happened to me in the recent holly for loop hellthread
@vaporeon_ I love the ++i shit even though I try to get to cute with it and make mistakes so I'm not saying I agree with the opinion, but it is an opinion some people have.
Personally I think it is fine and cool to have strong opinions on things even when I disagree with them.
@wallhackio Well, I think those people are WRONG and it is rude to not let me have i++ when that's the best way to increment a variable by 1
@wallhackio Cannot relate, and it's rude to expect me to type things like
i+=1wheni++and++iare right there. And also your logical error was assuming thati++or++iwill return1when they'll actually return either the previous or the new value ofi
