How do you guys bracket your code? A:

{
DoSomething();
DoSomethingElse();
}C: Other ~Nitron.

startThere are two rules of style: 1. I put the braces in different places than you. 2. Your style is lame. ;) --Mike-- Personal stuff:: Ericahist | Homepage Shareware stuff:: 1ClickPicGrabber | RightClick-Encrypt CP stuff:: CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | C++ Forum FAQ There is a saying in statistics that a million monkeys pounding on typewriters would eventually create a work of Shakespeare. Thanks to the Internet, we now know that this is not true.

I agree. ;) Michael Dunn wrote: 1. I put the braces in different places than you. Taken out of context, I bloody well hope so! :-D -- Meine Welt ist monoton und minimal, doch ganz total!

I used to use (B) for years (cut my teeth on Windows), but after working in a Java shop for a couple of years, I switched to (A). Now, (A) just feels right and sorta more "hardcore" than (B), which feels weenie like. Go figure. :) /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

B: I wonder why no body mentioned one clear advantage of A in the old times? what is wrong with this code?
if(true){; DoSomething(); DoSomethingElse(); }Yusuf wrote: what is wrong with this code? Nothing..? Unless you believe an extra empty statement is wrong. Had you written:
if(true);
{
DoSomething();
DoSomethingElse();
}there would have been something (most likely) wrong. -- Meine Welt ist monoton und minimal, doch ganz total!

I started out with B, and ended up with A. :cool: A is truly for those who have not only seen the light, but felt it and embraced it. It's like being touched by the hand of God. Or so they say. ;) -- Meine Welt ist monoton und minimal, doch ganz total!

I use B, always have, always will ( well, not really, I believe having a standard is more important than it's details, I would follow any standard my employer set ). But I'm curious about a few things 1. With two simple choices, why was this not a 'vote 5 for, vote 1 for' poll, and 2. Why is it that every post on this thread that I look at has been voted for twice and has a score of 3 ? Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder

Given Mikes clear infatuation with Erica, I say we all contribute some money into a pot, ask Chris to call someone at MS HR (or wherever) and set Mike up with a date with Erica!

startDefinitly A because I want to conserve lines and B is no more readable to me than A. John

K&R rocks. I still have my 1980 edition. :) /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

Well... since nobody does, I dare to say I use and prefer A. I find it MUCH more readable, uses less screen space (we all know what a screen-eater is VS), and I save an Enter at each indent. When I need to underline the bracket of course B is the way to go, but often simple indentation is enough. Oh, and one last thing: for function definitions A is my preferred way. Example:
void DailyPrayer(int times)
{
for (int i = 0; i < times; ++i) {
printf("I love CP\r\n");
printf("And you?\r\n");
}for (int i = 0; i < times; ++i) printf("http://www.codeproject.com");}
