Demonstrate in your programming environment that you can read the result of the function call without a variable exactly as easy without the temporary variable. I'm using what I think is quite a good coding environment, and I can't.

They write code in a particular way, and expect to read code expressed in a particular way, and by doing this they reduce the amount of time spent evaluating how best to write code, and reduce the amount of time spent interpreting ...
