I would like to know how exactly semicolons make code readable.
I can read other codes that don't have semicolons just fine when I'm reviewing plugin submissions.

Lets make snow happy, #pragma semicolon 1

When declaring variables I thought that with some languages you can get random numbers so it is essential to initialize it, especially loop iterators.

new i could be 83. So if you don't initialize it you will start at 83 which is bad.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

You aren't wrong fysiks, but what's your point? We are talking about pawn and not other languages.

Nice tut!

You're half right. I already covered that:

The reality is that no language that I know of actually demands that you assign a value; it will just be garbage until you do. [emphasis added] For this reason, I disagree with your analogy. In C, C++, Java, etc. we avoid assigning a value whenever possible because it's significantly faster. In this case, both options cost the same amount of resources but assigning a zero value is explicit as opposed to implicit.

I stopped reading this topic when Hawk posted #27

I suggest moving this to Offtopic. That is the best place for [DEBATES]

It's really not off-topic, though. This is entirely about coding and may be useful information. Off-topic threads generally get lost in the sheer amount of crap that people post in them.
