I’m studying programming, and I don’t agree woth my teacher. She basically said that if we use break (and continue too maybe) our test is an instant fail. She’s reasoning is that it makes the code harder to read, and breaks the flow of it or something. (I didn’t get her yapping tbh)

I can’t understand why break would do anything of the sorts. I asked around and noone agreed with the teacher. So I came here. Is there a benefit to not using breaks or continues? And if you think she’s wrong, please explain why, briefly even. We do enough down talking on almost all teachers she doesn’t need more online.

    It’s a very good lesson- to the point where I wouldn’t be surprised if the teacher is deliberately putting an arbitrary restriction on the assignment.

    If you want to have a career, the people that pay you are going to make you do things that you consider to be ridiculous. That’s work, that’s life. You’ve got three options- Just smile and nod and do it their way, get huffy and tell them that you don’t like their yapping and you’ll do their project your own way, or politely suggest there may be an alternative way, and ask if they are willing to be flexible with some requirements.

      I’ve never considered that she might just be very smart. You’re very optimistic. Filled me with hope out of nothing. Thanks!
