@Rajdeep_Sindhu I prefer len(alphabets) instead of hardcoded 26 because it's more readable. You know where the value is coming from, what its purpose is, what's going through the programmer's head. The reader doesn't have to work out themselves how 26 was generated. Even if you KNOW that you will never upgrade the program, avoid hardcoding magic numbers.

| Mar 26, 2020 at 17:55 | comment | added | Rajdeep Sindhu | Thanks a lot, a query though, the point that you made 'don't hard-code 26' was for flexibility, right? Because if I upgrade the program someday to include more characters such as periods or commas, then I won't have to change the number 26 every time. Got it, thanks again | |
