Re: Visual Studio code convert to **free

So:

if (x = y or x = 2) ?

I like that even less than no parens. :) Just personal preference.

I have my linter settings in Code for i set up to insist on parens. I
think in your example it would insist on the outer parens but not the

icky...

some might prefer

if (x = y) or (x = 2)

I actually like

if ((x = y) or (x = 2))

I think it was my logic professor in college that drilled into me "you
can
never have too many parens" haha.. which of course didn't apply when I
started programming with RPG.. until RPGIV and now free format.
