Not only do you have to mention the type information, you also have to mention whether the parameter is going to be used for just copy-by-value kind of information, or whether it is going to be modified in the method or not, or whether the parameter is only going to be used to return information by the method. Ofcourse, it helps in understanding code when you look at it, but you will know how perl/python feel when you have to update the method for any reason and have to modify the method signature in both the implementation and the header(for C++). As Mary mentioned, it comes in the way for fast prototyping. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya sandip (at) puroga.com Puroga Technologies Pvt. Ltd.
