The docs say:
A suite can be one or more semicolon-separated simple statements on
the same line as the header, following the header's colon, or it can
be one or more indented statements on subsequent lines. Only the
latter form of suite can contain nested compound statements; the
following is illegal, mostly because it wouldn't be clear to which if
clause a following else clause would belong:
if test1: if test2: print x
What's the rest of the reason? Is it an LL(1) parser limitation?
The error came to my attention through:
with nested(open(arg s[0], "rb"),
open(args[1], "rb")) as (banner, pfaids):
if outfile_path is None:
report(sys.stdo ut, reconcile(banne r, pfaids))
else: with open(outfile_pa th, "w") as outfile:
report(outfile, reconcile(banne r, pfaids))
Instead I must write:
with nested(open(arg s[0], "rb"),
open(args[1], "rb")) as (banner, pfaids):
if outfile_path is None:
report(sys.stdo ut, reconcile(banne r, pfaids))
else:
with open(outfile_pa th, "w") as outfile:
report(outfile, reconcile(banne r, pfaids))
There's nothing terribly wrong with it, I guess, but it does look
"hairier" when really it isn't.
Moreover, "invalid syntax" is a bit terse--but probably it's not worth
it to complicate the grammar just for a better error message.
Finally, any ideas for a prettier version of the above snippet?

Hello.
I am working my way through Zhang's "Teach yourself C in 24 hrs (2e)"
(Sam's series), and for nested loops, he writes (p116) "It's often
necessary to create a loop even when you are already in a loop." Then he
goes on to portray a contrived example that doesn't tell me under what
conditions a nested loop might be favoured as a solution? i.e. what are
nested loops useful for? What kinds of algorithms are served by nested
loops?...

Below you will see an example of a nested conditional expression that
this colleague of mine loves. He claims that it is more efficient that
a multi-level if-else-if structure. Moreover, our complexity analyzer
tool supposedly does not pick it up. Is it really more efficient?
Personally I find this coding style extremely cryptic, misleading and
error-prone.
I believe that I have removed all traces of proprietary-ness from this

I writing some documentation and I want to describe a common code structure

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
