I know it's a noob question but i'm curious why he used menu[192] rather than any other number?

//The clcmd function will just give us the player id
public showWeaponMenu(id)
{
new menu[192]
new keys = MENU_KEY_0|MENU_KEY_1|MENU_KEY_2

format(menu, 191, "Which Weapon?^n^n1. AK47^n2. M4A1^n3. AWP")
show_menu(id, keys, menu)
return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

You need to put a dimension big enough to hold all the data. Here 192 is just too much, since the text is short. Just a waste of memory.

Because they don't understand how important it is.

I wouldn't say that it's necessarily "super important" (because it's not invalid code to not use it) but it's definitely much smarter to use than any other method. It's also, like it should be, a requirement for released plugins.

Of course, what I meant by "important" is that it's a pain to change the size everywhere in a big project. You have to do it once then you realize how bad hardcoding is.
