I know, it can also be written in many other ways. What decides which one is more correct if they are all semantically equivalent? Is it less characters? Is it using exactly as many 'e's as 'a's? Is it the unnecessary braces?
There is probably no "correct" way of writing this, but there are ways of making your next code maintainer's life easier (which might be you in a few months from now). One line is easier to read and understand than 10, especially if that one line is just "return p".
Personally most of the time id rather have 10: main(int c,charv){return!m(v[1],v[2]);}m(chars,chart){returnt-42?s?63==t|s==t&&m(s+1,t+1):!t:m(s,t+1)||*s&&m(s+1,t);}
But I meant return p, not some gibberish that obviously should be formatted better. It's just that for some developers "formatting better" doesn't translate to "make it shorter and sweeter".
Depends on the language. Clearly 'lpDataPointer' suggests C or C++, but if it was C# or Java then 'return p;' would only compile if 'p' was of boolean type.
