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.

    She’s reasoning is that it makes the code harder [for her] to read, and breaks the flow of it or something. (I didn’t get her yapping tbh)

    Fixed it for you. She’s imposing her preferences on the class. Unfortunately, it’s easiest to just suck it up and appease her than to fight it. Just my two cents.

      Oh yea, definitely just follow the arbitrary preference. It’s actually pretty good practice for your professional life to learn to follow the occasional arbitrary bullshit… you’ll need to obey a depressing amount of it in most large companies (especially a shitshow like Google).

      You might be right, problem is that I’m already appeasing her by not writing in a language that I know, but in one that she knows. However I’m enlightened by your correction, might explain things.
