One Liners

After all this time

I thought I must simplify things. Break things line by line, make it readable for the novice. Avoiding 1-liners altogether. But now, I see that its crucial. Makes sense though. Oh well, you heard the man, bring on the 1-liners!

Some Examples

Some exercises for FizzBuzz.

for x in range(1, 101): print [[[str(x), 'Buzz'][x % 5 == 0], ‘Fizz’][x % 3 == 0], ‘FizzBuzz’][x % 5 == 0 and x % 3 == 0]

for x in range(1, 101): print (x % 3 == 0 and x % 5 == 0) and 'FizzBuzz' or ((x % 3 == 0) and 'Fizz' or ((x % 5 == 0) and 'Buzz' or str(x)))

You can even download youtube videos with a Perl 1-liner. (Apart from installing all the modules).

In the end..

be careful with one liners. Comments are crucial. More than once I looked back at my code and wondering what the hell I’m writing. Should have spent more time writing the comment that made sense in a quick glance. 

Now I must get back to work.
