Grrr.. Tell me you dont use wordwrap!?

Okay, i may not be the best coder in the world, but i have taken alot of courses and have some experience, etc.. but this guy i work with has only recently begun coding and has had no formal training.. and he uses wordwrap!? does anyone use wordwrap when coding? his idention is impossible to read! are there any notable coders on here who like wordwrap when coding?! its not really a programming question.. altho it kinda is.. hope its off topic enough :) still a newb.. cut me some slack :P -dz
What the hell is wordwrap :confused:

I do not use wordwrap. But if truth be told, readable code makes the word=wrap question moot. If your parameter list is so flippin long it doesn't fit within 80 columns, then you should probably place each parameter on its own line for readability. Ditto for super-coder-look-at-me-I-am-so-smart-I-can-combine-all-of-these-statements-into-one-statement-that-would-be-worthy-of-the-obfuscated-c-competition. If it doesn't fit within one word-wrapped line then it is needlessly complex.

you know, when a line is so long it wraps it around to the next line.. commonly used in reading text files.. still a newb.. cut me some slack :P -dz
hmmm... Visual Studio just keeps going to the right. I can't imagine having it any other way. What is he using? Notepad?

good point.. thats what i normally do.. if its a ways past the limit then ill break it up a bit.. the auto-indent is really useful for that.. thanks for your 2 cents.. i just explained it how you did and i think i might be making progress :) still a newb.. cut me some slack :P -dz

Are you this guys project manager? If so, spend a few hours writing coding standards - my bible is "Code Complete" - the best book ever written on software "construction". The time you spend documenting the standards will be given back to you many times over.
