Not too bothered about the odd 6 line func., e.g. finding something in an array, in a for loop, and EXITing when stisfied, rather than continuing the loop, so long as it's in your face. Personally, I use a "do ... while ... and not llFound" for that purpose, and go the extra few yards to avoid using loop, exit. Still don't see the need for them though, in essence.

But Terry,

It is apparently your conclusion that a tendency to use EXIT/LOOP invariably results in code slovenliness. That truly is a leap of faith... a peson can write horrendous code without either and a person can write fine readable code using them all over the place.

You don't "mind" particular uses but you'd still rather not see them. This is fine for YOUR code in YOUR style, but to brand anyone who uses them as bordering on slovenly is a bit much.

cheers and EXIT
