Subject: Re: best coding for limiting a value

Hello,

In the book the "Art of readable code" by  Dustin Boswell &Trevor Foucher the reader will certainly choose the (B) as it's easier to read immediately by a 3rd party.

If you have many questions like this one, you should really read a book like this one.
