Re: Option Explicit

Thanks Bruce for correcting my English..
I became aggressive when I saw the people using Option Explicit trying to
tell me that I must or should do the same.
I've always respected their choice and all what I'm saying is that I do not
understand that they can perceive that other people can do differently.
I have my reasons, they have theirs... everybody is happy and all this
discussion shouldn't exist.

Everybody makes typographical errors. That is what people mean in this
thread by "garbage". It is not a reference to the quality of your code.
If you use a variable 50 times in your code, and misspell it once, in that
one instance it will be treated as a new variable if you do not require
variable declaration. The code may run, but you won't get the expected
result, and will be left to sort through your code line by line to figure
out why. If you require variable declaration, when you compile the code
you will be asked about the undeclared (i.e. misspelled) variable. This
is my choice. If you wish to make another choice (because you have always
done it that way, or because you feel the need to rebel against common
methods, or whatever), go for it.
However, leave the "totalitarianism" (if that's what you meant by
"tolitarism") stuff out of the discussion. You can take your incoherent
rants about Google somewhere else, too. Everybody who has replied uses
Option Explicit, and has told you why. Take the advice or leave it, but
you can get off of your persecution high horse any time now.

Common sense can differ depending on what you want to do and on your
reasons... action = reaction (1st Newton low)
It's rather called tolitarism (only one opinion is right)

What I'm trying to say that I'm shocked to see people saying that there
is only one option that is right.

and I'm more disappointed to see an MVP treating someone's code of
garbage!!

That's really great

PS: Google is also going out of law by neglecting the right to the
private life... but they do it, and thanks to them to try to change the
habits based on old rules.
if you want to follow a rule, at least try to know why they were made!

Cheers!

You should still use Option Explicit so you don't write garbage
code.

Yup...."garbage code" sums it up!!!

For me, it never been a debate...the *first* change in setting is to
ensure option explicit...

It much like putting a seat belt on...it not because it is a local
by-law, it because is common sense.....
