Tweet For Code #4

By  on  

You don't need a thousand lines of code to make a big difference in any coding language.  Oftentimes it's quite the opposite:  a few tiny code snippets can do a world of good and accomplish big things.  I asked my Twitter followers to tweet to me their favorite tiny snippets of code -- that's a bit difference to try to pack into 140 characters!  Here are my favorites from this round!

Thank you to everyone who participated, and keep your tiny snippets for the next Tweet for Code!
