B

its more compact...

SpaceAce · 01-09-2005, 12:48 AM

A is probably easier for a third party to read and understand but B is how I format my own code.

I usually go for A - somehow with B, the starting brace is often missed.

A also lends itself to cutting and pasting blocks (omitting the conditional logic).

I'm used to B.

A is easier to line up braces for someone else reading it.

why?

Zester · 01-09-2005, 01:12 AM

i just don't understand why all the programers I asked say they use B and at the same time say A is better in most of the ways

A is easier for someone else to follow. B is more compact and more elegant. Style A is like speaking in short, stubby sentences and style B is more like natural speech or writing.

A = I know a guy. He has a penis > 999. I think I will cock block him. He has it coming.

B = I know a guy with a penis that's at least 999. I'm going to cock block him.

A is more professional. Code needs to be easily readable.

why do you prefer B?

bumpppppp

I use B, but you can't really say which one is the best. It is down to personal preference. Each programmer has their own unique coding style, like designers has their ways..
