Choice 1:

if (condition)
{
   //do stuff
}

Choice 2:

if (condition){
   //do stuff
}

Edit:
And why?

I code C# it's similar I took option 1

Option 1. It's easier to read that way IMO, even if it does take up extra space.

What he said an also because Visual Studio automatically formats it to that :D

I do option #2 because it looks better than option #1. I've never had problems with indenting, really, so that works for me.

they have names,
option1 and option2 are called Allman and K&R style respectively. (I'm fairly sure i got the right ones….)

i like K&R, simply because thats how i learnt it


i get my inspiration from this quote from a book

The position of braces is less important, although people hold passionate beliefs. We have chosen one of several popular styles. Pick a style that suits you, then use it consistently.

I used to use Allman religiously, but I have recently switched back to K&R because it's better to code officially in my opinion. Except in SCAR lol :p. I don't follow many scar standards any more :p

For me, it depends on the language. Op #1 for C/C++ and Op #2 for Java! :D

Cool. I keep seeing scripts that use option 2, and I find it really annoying.

1#, and this thread is stupid.

I use option 2 b/c that is what is usually used with other languages I use. Plus it is easier to read because you don't make a ton of extra lines.

2 seems to be the logical way to write code.

if (condition) {
    //do stuff
}

Option 1. It's how I learned to code PHP and since that's embedded in my brain now, thats probably how I'll code forever.

I make one line programs.

You forgot

if (condition) { stuff(); }

I am all for Allman though :)

K&R all the way

I personally do option 2.

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    bool enchantedRules = true;
    
    if(enchantedRules) {
                       std::cout << "Enchanted rules!";
    }
    
    else {
         std::cout << "Enchanted does not rule!";
    }
    
    for(;;) std::cin.get();
    
    return 0;
}

I wasn't aware of it, but I didn't forget it! See the "other" choice in the poll?

This thread is not stupid. It's got a purpose, and it's informative. Please keep your negative thoughts to yourself, or the flaming section.
