I am very fussy about the format of my code, extremely. Back in the
days when ASP was a new web technology I would litterly spend hours
making sure the autogenerated code fom my asp page was properly indented
in the source view of the browser. Whenever I would inherit code from a
co-worker I had to make sure the format was right so I could work on
it. This obsession has never gone away, to this day the format of stuff
still bugs the hell out of me. Recently, I have been reading
Mootools-Core just so I could get a better understanding of what goes on
under the hood. Anyway, the style of the source files is gorgeous, but
it raised a question in my mind concerning if statements. What
statement is formatted properly from the following statements:
if (a == b) doSomething
else doSomethingElse
as opposed to:
if (a == b){
doSomething
} else {
doSomethingElse
}
as opposed to:
if (a == b)
{
doSomething
} else
{
doSomethingElse
}
as opposed to:
if (a == b)
doSomething
else
doSomethingElse
as opposed to:
if (a == b) doSomething else doSomethingElse
I have seen them done every one of these ways, I guess what i'm asking
is this style up to interpretation or what would be more standard?
