Notice how your version (xyzzy) broke the cascade of if..elseif..else.

Don't they teach this in schools anymore?

What do you expect from academia?  School and real life are still too 
often disconnected.

Actually, you know, I am quite happy that they do not teach _that_ 
particular code template. It is enough that I have to suffer this ugliness 
from oldtimers, no need for newtimers piling onto this particular pile.

Unfortunately the real world is not without its share of ugliness.
And newtimers need to be better prepared to cope when they get loose.

I guess that's one of the reasons I skipped many lectures at Uni...
to hack on Linux 1.0.x instead.
