Message: [QUOTE="James Harris, post: 3988107"] I'm not disagreeing with the above paragraph but in the interests of even handedness an advantage of the other method is ease for a human to match begins and ends of large blocks. With statement or block brackets such as "begin" ... "end" (Pascal) and "{" ... "}" (C) because they are all the same it can be hard to see where each construct ends. C programmers sometimes write } /* for */ } /* while */ or similar to indicate which construct the terminating brace is closing. James [/QUOTE]
