I am interested why you choose the number 43 :)

Surprised nobody's bashed you for this, it's very unimpressive. Ah damn I hate the syntax when people use symbols to explicitly specify a type "$" for string etc, very unreadable in my opinion. Don't know if you know already but the compiler doesn't require you to explicitly define a type when you use the 'Dim' keyword. If you where to type for example, "Dim TheLights = false" and hovered your mouse over 'Dim' it'd indicate that it knows that the object was of type boolean. I'm only putting that out there because I guess your justification, or anybody else's for that matter for using these characters to define a type is that it shortens code / is easier to type when in fact you can make it shorter yet while not using what I imagine are depreciated methods.

I respect your opinion, but that's all it is, an opinion.

Thank for your comment.

Its even less then an opinion, its an preference.

Yea. 43. What a random choice of a number. Hahaha. You should make it play a key stroking sound when it happens.

I have seen a few members use a suffix character to define datatypes. I try to get members to avoid legacy code but this goes back way beyond Microsoft and Visual Basic. This is BASIC. I can't personally see any appeal in using a single suffix. Each to there own though :)

It's more or less a habit, it almost doesn't look complete without the suffix, although I am slowly transitioning.

Also, the concept makes for a pretty cool, uhh, hack sequence?

Hey man, any ideas how can I animate a current line?

like:

1st it'll look like:
Loading -
then
Loading /
then
Loading |
then
Loading \
then loop again until i call exit loop

If you close the line with "\r" then it will overwrite the string, like this:

Code

for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
  {
    Console.Write(i.ToString() + "\r");
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
  }

  Console.Read();
