This is partly because students, lacking the experience to instantly recognize larger constructs, prefer a more concrete approach to coding. "Good code" is code where the concrete behaviour is more easily understood. As a programmer gains experience, s/he learns to grok more complex expressions, and is then better able to make use of the more expressive constructs such as list comprehensions. ChrisA
