PLEASE ANSWER LAST DAY OF SCHOOL. Discussion Topic

Using complete sentences post a detailed response to the following.

A common expression that programmers use is, “No code is faster than no code.” This is a clever way of saying that the shortest code is the fastest code. Of course, as code gets shorter, it can be more likely to have errors in it since steps are combined, and things can get more confusing. Do you think it is always best to write code that is as short as possible? Why or why not? Why might it matter if code is long or short?

Answer:

You can't really say it matters whether it's short or long

Step-by-step explanation:

There several coding language some short and some long with different purposes so it doesn't really make a difference

Although some coders have been able to shorten some codes so I'd say shorter is faster and be[er and easier to memorize

Thanks hope I was helpful
