I’m studying programming, and I don’t agree woth my teacher. She basically said that if we use break (and continue too maybe) our test is an instant fail. She’s reasoning is that it makes the code harder to read, and breaks the flow of it or something. (I didn’t get her yapping tbh)
I can’t understand why break would do anything of the sorts. I asked around and noone agreed with the teacher. So I came here. Is there a benefit to not using breaks or continues? And if you think she’s wrong, please explain why, briefly even. We do enough down talking on almost all teachers she doesn’t need more online.
A blanket rule against certain keywords sounds pretty silly to me. Break and continue are useful tools in the right situation. Sounds like it’s her preference that she’s decided to impose on the rest of you.
You could ask her what she expects as an alternative. You could show her code that uses it and ask how she expects you to rewrite it to satisfy her standards. Ask nicely because unfortunately just being right isn’t enough for some teachers, they have to like you too.
If she has a good answer, then do it that way as long as you’re in her class. If not well… sorry that’s just a terrible teacher.
Replace break with goto 😈
Yeah, that conversation is probably unavoidable. Let’s hope for a good answer. (also I heard that maybe I won’t be studying under her, rumors only, but we’ll see. Thanks.
