is it possible to write this using similar postfix notation? or am I stuck writing if == null break if addByte == null else continue;

[Dominaezzz]

Yeah, you're "stuck" with if (addByte == null) break else continue.

[hudsonb]

If you are breaking, do you need the else

[Dominaezzz]

Only if you want a one liner I guess.

[hudsonb]

Did he literally mean continue? I assumed it was a placeholder, if it's actually a continue what purpose would it serve.

[Dominaezzz]

Yeah, it is an actual continue. The else serves no real purpose. Only added it to stay close to the original snippet.

[hudsonb]

Well back to my main point then, if (addByte == null) break is equivalent to if (addByte == null) break else continue

[Dominaezzz]

If there is no code after the if statement but he didn't say whether they was.

[Dominaezzz]

I thought you were thinking along the lines of

if (addByte == null) break
continue

[hudsonb]

If there is code after if (addByte == null) break else continue it's unreachable.

[Dominaezzz]

Ah, that's true! Ignore me. 😅 (Although if there was indeed unreachable code for some reason then I'm right).

[hudsonb]

Hopefully that's not the case 😛

[xenoterracide]

even if it was dead code it'd be better than the "C" (in java) I'm translating it from

[xenoterracide]

but yeah, no, I was just thinking in perl that I wanted the break first, now I've gotten rid of the loop
