- @RobertHarvey: The formatting of ints may vary by culture in theory, but in this particular example (InvariantCulture vs German) it will always be the same. So the question is purely stylistic - should the InvariantCulture be explicitly stated even though it won't make any difference.JacquesB– JacquesB2016-05-09 18:41:16 +00:00Commented May 9, 2016 at 18:41
- 3My philosophy is that, if you add things to your code that are not needed, you will increase the cognitive load for the next programmer because they will have to spend time reading the unnecessary code and wondering why it is there. All other things being equal, less code is always better than more.Robert Harvey– Robert Harvey2016-05-09 18:45:04 +00:00Commented May 9, 2016 at 18:45
- Also, if you read the post I linked carefullly, it says that the formatting of ints does not vary by culture in practice.Robert Harvey– Robert Harvey2016-05-09 18:49:43 +00:00Commented May 9, 2016 at 18:49

``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**

`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
