c_shortcuts_to_python

Welcome to the README for the c_shortcuts_to_python extension. This extension brings some familiar C and other language shortcuts to Python in Visual Studio Code.

Features

This extension provides the following features for Python development:

• // to #: Automatically converts // comments to Python-style # comments.
• ++ to += 1: Converts ++ to Python’s += 1 increment operation.
• -- to -= 1: Converts -- to Python’s -= 1 decrement operation.

Examples

Here's a look at how these features work:

Example 1: Comment Conversion

Before:

// This is a comment

After:

# This is a comment

Example 2: Increment Conversion

Before:

count++;

After:

count += 1

Example 3: Decrement Conversion

Before:

count--;

After:

count -= 1

Exemption Feature

To exempt a line from the transformations, add # EXEMPT on the line above:

# EXEMPT
count++;

In this case, count++; will not be converted to count += 1.
