    White spaces

    What kind of whitespaces do you use?

    I go with option 2. I hate too much spaceyness, but I like to read code.

    I'd rather write code fast, not waste time with spaces

    But it is so much harder to read in future reference for debugging. That, and it takes about a millisecond to hit the space bar.

    Um you forgot:
    Code:
    for                                  (x                  
    
    
    
    ;
    
    
    
    
                                            x                         
    
    
      
    
    
                                                     <     
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    10   
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
                                                          ;
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
                                                    x 
    
    
    
    
    
              ++
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
      ;

    I prefer #2 - it's not too spaced out, but I can easily edit the code if I need too.

    Yeh, I go with Evenflow (hey that rhymes). I need to read the code when it's done.

    hmmm... speaking of which... i adopted the practice of putting a space between the opening parenthesis in a function calls parameter list, as well as the protype/declaration... and, as such, it annoys me when reading other's code... there should be a compiler's limit on the number of lines in a code block!

    I must be one of the few who prefers #3. Not only is it easy to read and is consistent, it also looks nice and that's important

    However, I don't space my semicolons, that's just plain wierd. This is my preference.

    c'mon mr. Unregistered, don't make a moderator close this nice little thread, if you want to harass garfield, open a separate thread, and Garfield: don't answer it, you could make a moderator close this thread.

    by the way: why do you say that to Garfield, everyone has it's own way to code.

    lolz

    #1 is good for robots
    #2 is good for people semi-new to computers (not using them for your whole life)
    #3 is good for real computer gurus, I use #3, becouse coding is instant, I think and it is 'instantly' typed. I've been typing for almost my whole life, so 'time' really dont matter to me, I type with patternz, whitch lets me type a huge amount of charachters quikly, and I really dont care, cuz its great readabuility!

    for( int sloop = 0 ; sloop < blah ; sloop++ )

    Uh oh! let's all change our votes to #3 because it's "for gurus"!

    I vote 2 - I can't stand too many spaces, and it's still readable without looking like crud.
