It's so easy to use for-each loops instead of if-else chains, yet when I write a system in for the first time, I always find myself doing the latter.

"It's placeholder code" saves me every time as long as I rewrite it later.

In what scenario is a conditional substitute for a loop?

@lbfalvy

I imagine something like this:

int sumOfValues(values [1, 2, 3, 4]) {

int sum = 0;

if 1 >= values.length(): sum += values[0];

if 2 >= values.length(): sum += values[1];

if 3 > =values.length(): sum += values[2];

if 4 >= values.length(): sum += values[3];

if 5 >= values.length(): sum += values[4];

...

if 100 >= values.length(): sum += values[99];

return sum;

}

@lambda123 not sure what you mean that's my code from a production ready project. Im a senior with 50 years of experience!

WTF?!
