Hi
I've been programming in C/C++ for about ten years and Java (my current
prefered language) for about 5). I recently started developing in C# and the
problem is that it is too similar to Java. This lulls me into a false sense of
security; but every so often I find something different. Syntactic differences
are ok, but what is ahrder is the philosophical differences.
A case in point: what I believe are called attributes. If I'm right, it feels
like C# gives one the ability to say classname.attributename instead of
classname.getAttributename() or set as well.
This is kind of nice, but at the end of the day if I am right it is nothing
more than syntactic sugar. What do other people think? I'd much rather say
something like:
Label l=new Label("some text", Orientation.CENTER, new Font("arial",
Font.BOLD|Font.ITALIC));
Component.add(l, x, y);
In C# the way I see it written this would take up at minimum six lines; I'd
also have to specify the size of the label (I hate doing this), and also the
tabstop order, etc, giving about nine or ten lines of code in totoal. As a
blind person who cursors down through code this is highly annoying.
Can anyone enlighten me as to why this is a good idea? Are parameters to
functions old-fashioned? <grin>
