RE: Quick question on readability

Or maybe not used at all.  The nested eval is not all intuitive.  I'll
take repetitive lines of code over that any day.

From the classic  "The Elements of Programming Style"..

   Write clearly - don't be too clever

Now, I'm confused.  And agreeing with Matt.

Yes, sorry about that.  My memory was foggy.  What (I think) works for

assigning the same value to two variables is:

value = 12;
var1   = (eval var2 = value)

That little eval is rather important, and I'm in agreement as well that

this is not something that should be used frequently.
