NO language |ever made it difficult to write BAD programs. Assembler programmers don't |make HLL programmers look silly, but GOOD programmers make BAD programmers |look silly. The programming language makes no difference. |<<<< | |You're absolutely right, of course. The programming language in use is not |what differentiates good and bad programmers. There are many bad assembly |language programmers out there. On the other hand, those who master |assembly language are, in general, better programmers than the average lot. |This is an observation, not a hard and fast rule. I'm sure you can find |many exceptions. Though, as I've said, I found it to be true in general. |*** RAndy Hyde How's about the opinion, when your using HLL, you're only good as the compiler. When you're using assembly, your only good as you are. Take in to account all things are relative... Expressing an opinion.
