Hi Jim and all, Yes, unless you are working for a company that gives you specific guide lines to follow when programming most programmers are as different from each other as night and day. Each programmer has his/her own preference for programming language, personal preference how that code is formatted, personal preference for function and variable naming, etc... I've seen it first hand. When I was learning to program I use to experiment allot by grabbing open source programs for Linux, reading the source, and practiced by attempting to write something along the lines of that program so I could gain experience. Allot of those programs were written in C, C++, Perl, and Java. Each developer for Linux had his or her own specific style. If it wasn't for programming formatting tools like indent I imagine they would have used their own formatting styles as well. As I said above each programmer has his or her own favorite language. For me I like languages that are of the C style programming such as C, C++, C#, and Java. Jim Kitchen, David Greenwood, and others use Visual Basic which is a language I have never personally liked much. Two developers with such drastic taistes in languages would drive each other nuts. <Grin>
