Any downsides to using continue within a ternary Topic is solved

[AHKStudent]

I was told that in languages like c you cannot use continue within a ternary. In AHK you can and I would like to know if there is a reason to avoid it?

I created a small example, in this script I really would want to use the ternary operator to save a lot of lines but also dont want to mess things up if the use of continue within this has some downside I do not know.

Code: Select all

ep := 0
array := ["car", "food", "sky"]
for i, v in array
	(v = "food") ? continue : ep+=100
MsgBox, % ep
ExitApp

IMO, the downside is that you can lose the clarity of your code. In your case you can change it like this:

Code: Select all

ep := 0
array := ["car", "food", "sky"]
for i, v in array
   (v != "food" && ep += 100)
MsgBox, % ep
