1@ruakh I'm not sure what to take away from your comment. It comes across as somewhat passive-aggressive, as if my answer opposes what's written on the wiki page. Please elaborate.null– null2018-08-14 15:27:42 +00:00Commented Aug 14, 2018 at 15:27

"Structured programming" is a term of art with a specific meaning, and the OP is objectively correct that version #2 conforms to the rules of structured programming while version #1 does not. From your answer, it seemed that you were not familiar with the term of art, and were interpreting the term literally. I'm not sure why my comment comes across as passive-aggressive; I meant it simply as informative.ruakh– ruakh2018-08-14 16:25:55 +00:00Commented Aug 14, 2018 at 16:25

@ruakh I disagree that version #2 conforms to the rules more in every aspect and explained that in my answer.null– null2018-08-14 17:25:30 +00:00Commented Aug 14, 2018 at 17:25

You say "I disagree" as if it were a subjective thing, but it's not. Returning from inside a loop is a categorical violation of the rules of structured programming. I'm sure that many structured-programming enthusiasts are fans of minimally-scoped variables, but if you reduce a variable's scope by departing from structured programming, then you have departed from structured programming, period, and reducing the variable's scope doesn't undo that.ruakh– ruakh2018-08-14 18:27:46 +00:00Commented Aug 14, 2018 at 18:27

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
