What type of c source do you prefer?

[fat888]

There are two c types, one is: if(...) { ... } else { ... } the other is: if(...){ ... ... }else{ ... ... } Witch one do you prefer? And why?

Hi guys. I'm a very man. Do you like fat men?

We prefer the following because it has got more readability than the other if(...) { ... } else { ... } Rinu Raj

Both the ways. It's just upto you what you feel better to work with. IMO the first option offers more readabilty and indentation for your code is also very clear. So I prefer to go with the first option.

The first one! Easier on the eyes.

I've never seen variation 2, although I see a lot of if { } else{ } Either way, my vote is for 1.

I prefer the first; it's easier to identify scope with brackets that line up. It also puts some white space between the if (or other leading statements) and code inside the scope. (I also tend to put a blank line before the if.)
