Wrapping code

[topman]

I have looked over various ruby guides and can not find the answer, I also have no code to show for my question, I'm trying to find out before I hit a brick wall.

I don't like code that writes past the side bar, so how would I wrap code? I think wrap is the right word but I'm not too sure, if it's not then what I mean is how do I make a long line run on 2-3 lines instead so it doesn't go past the side bar?

Just move it to the next line. The following code for example:

really_long_variable_name = 10
this_is_unrealistically_named = 5
this_will_be_the_answer = 0

this_will_be_the_answer = 
really_long_variable_name / this_is_unrealistically_named + 
this_is_unrealistically_named

Or use extra parenthesis to make code like that a little easier to interpret.

really_long_variable_name = 10
this_is_unrealistically_named = 5
this_will_be_the_answer = 0

this_will_be_the_answer = 
((really_long_variable_name / this_is_unrealistically_named) + 
this_is_unrealistically_named)

With the assignment operator it'll continue to read until it encounters another operation or at least it appears to do that.

Ah right, Thank you, really appreciate it.

I dunno if this interprets into RGSS, but in Ruby in general, if you end with an operation it'll carry on as if it's just one line.

I.e.

@variablename = 1 +
2

Will do the same as @variablename = 1 + 2

Dunno if that helps at all.

Well arbiter usually does all this rgss stuff for me, but him being away I can't ask him so all help is very welcome.

Thanks Khmp and Wyatt.
