FWIW: I find this forcing of everyone to use 'C' type coding to often confuse and otherwise mess up the less sophisticated user. AFAIC: If you want to code in 'C', use a 'C' compiler. Or use Clipper -- they drove all their developers to FoxPro by forcing a pseudo-C syntax on them with Clipper-5x. Personally, I find the 2nd line MUCH easier to understand, and its consistent with any other mathematical or concatenation formula.
