The latter; the first form drives me nuts.

The real problem with braces is not the style itself, but different styles in the same project, or even file. Most IDEs can reformat the code, but that way there are a few problems with source control... BTW, I prefer this:

// Blah

The latter. The former is used only by miscreants and rogues. :suss:

LOL That used to be me. Don't know why but lately I switched to the latter.
The only thing unpredictable about me is just how predictable I'm going to be.

I used to work with a guy that strongly argued for: if { //do something } (He felt that "as a container", the braces themselves needed to be indented. There was a survey back on the old DevelopMentor boards when .NET was still young. The result was about 30% #1, 70% #2 and 1 person "#3")

The later ... but when i'm furiously typing, sometimes the Enter doesn't hit and that damn bracket stays on the same line .... When such hidious sine is uppon me i immediatelly grab my whip, face the floor and start whipping my self on the back shouting "FORGIVE MY KEYBOARD FATHER FOR IT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IT'S DOING" :->

Navaneeth.Which one you prefer ?
Over the shoulder with a single clip at the back. I find the ones that attach at each side far too restrictive.

Last one complies to coding standards. First one is for folk who don't know any better. How about an if that runs only 1 line of code. A:
if{//do something} dothis other code.....B:if{//do something} { dothis } other code.....Grady Booch: I told Google to their face...what you need is some serious adult supervision. (2007 Turing lecture) http://www.frankkerrigan.com/[^]

Mmm.. yes. You better watch behind your bracket when you code. ;)

This is all about readability (compilers don't give two hoots). Braces around one line of code make it LESS readable -- your codes ends up spanning too many lines / pages. Btw, indentation is vital, so the form should be: if (condition) do domething; other code where the blank line before the 'other code' is also vital. (And then there's the debate about whether there should be some comments against each block of code, but I won't go there!)

Do'h, of course HTML strips spaces! so, try again: if (condition) do something; other code;

Who cares? Does this actually improve the quality of your code in any way? Does the first version produce different code to the second? It doesn't matter. As long as you are consistent and follow internal coding standards then it shouldn't matter which one it is.

if (condition) { //do something } This is the only true way. All else is heresy. ;P Seriously, I think this all just comes down to personal preference. Everyone has his or her own reasons for preferring one style to another. Those reasons could be to do with practicality, ideology, aesthetics, familiarity, or just following standards. In my case, I like the above layout because it takes up fewer lines on the screen, so I can see more of my code at once. I simply can't see why some people think that the alternatives look nicer. Also, my background is in languages that don't have “curlies”, but whose layout is more like this layout. For example, the structure of VB.Net code is similar: If condtion THEN 'do something END IF Perhaps this similarity to VB.Net is really what some people object to? My Blog: http://www.allwrong.com[^]

I would certainly go with second style as it make readiability more easier

As long as there are braces, there will be debate, some fierce... :) Having been a fan of the later since varsity, I have recently seen the light and converted to being a fan of the former. On the suggestion of a good friend, I experimented with it in a recent project and have seen the error of my ways. I find the former to more clearly show 'blocks' of code, and thus to be far more readable and maintainable. Having just said that, it did take me a week or two to get used to it though. I work on several projects, using both styles. My only real comment is that consistency is more important and that always seems to be the common point people make. Long live OTBS... :)
