When should you use a loop instead?
Short answer. With three or more for parts, many conditions, only printing, or many steps per item.
What matters more, short or clear?
Clear beats short.
Use a loop instead when
| Three or more for parts |
| Many conditions |
| You only want to print |
| Each item needs many steps |
Remember
| Clear beats short |
| Hard to read? Use a loop |
Is a one line list always better? No. Use a loop instead with three or more for parts. Or with many conditions. Or when you only print. Or when each item needs many steps. Clear beats short. Hard to read? Use a loop.
