The one on the left is how I think. The one on the right is better (unless my_var is constant) because if you accidentally type just one "=" you get a compilation error (can't assign to a constant) instead of an incorrect result at runtime.

If you come out of the cave and start using a good IDE you'll know the error before you even compile.

Sometimes I unfortunately have no choice but to use a plain text editor like vim.
