Classes vs Functions about php HOT 10 CLOSED

I prefer functions where possible, since instances tend to add more code, more boilerplate, and the opportunity to introduce race conditions. Let's keep it simple where possible.

from php.

Yes, functions please 👍

@Dog Would you like to keep this issue open until any other exercises are addressed?

from php.

Yes please

from php.

These are the problems I have left to go through for this issue:

• bowling
• clock
• robot-name
• wordy

from php.

I have re-written wordy as a function #43.

I don't think bowling, clock or robot-name make sense as functions because they have persisted states that are stored within the instance. What do you think @Dog?

from php.

Agreed -- I think bowling and robot-name should remain as they are.

from php.

What about clock? I think it's hard to add to, subtract from or compare something that doesn't have a state.

from php.

Yeah, that's my understanding as well. Let's leave clock as is.

from php.

OK, cool. Closing this--if something comes up later we can always reopen or create a new issue.

Thanks, all!
