mmmm C#

**Prelude** · 03-17-2002, 06:05 PM

I have to admit my first reaction to C# was hostile. Being a card carrying member of the 'Java haters' club the syntax was a big turnoff for me at first glance. Now that I've studied a bit of C# I'm warming up to it, and what I first believed to be a wasteful syntax isn't quite as wasteful as I first thought ( Believing C# to be a Java ripoff ).
Here are two quickie programs that show size differences between C# and my beloved C.

Code:

// C# code
using System;

class Print
{
  public static void printNumber ( int n )
    {
      while ( n != 0 ) {
        Console.Write ( n % 10 );
        n /= 10;
      }
      Console.WriteLine();
    }
}

class ProgramDriver
{
  public static void Main()
    {
      Print.printNumber ( 45678 );
    }
}

Code:

/* C code */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void printNumber ( int n )
{
  while ( n != 0 ) {
    printf ( "%d", n % 10 );
    n /= 10;
  }
  printf ( "\n" );
}

int main ( void )
{
  printNumber ( 45678 );
  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

I still don't like how the functions ( methods ) float in space while C's functions are completely left justified. It forces me to use a GNU bracing style to maintain somewhat decent readability.

Does anyone have ideas for a C# bracing style that works well? This textbook code just doesn't do it for me ( I hate textbook code )

Code:

// Yucky yucky
class Print
{
  public static void printNumber ( int n )
  {
    while ( n != 0 ) 
    {
      Console.Write ( n % 10 );
      n /= 10;
    }
    Console.WriteLine();
  }
}

At the moment I'm using three bracing styles according to indention level. Class level indention ( fully left justified ) gets an Allman style, method level ( first level in, very floaty ) practically demands GNU to look good, and for the processing level ( if..else's, loops, switches, etc.. ) I maintain my K&R bracing.

This looks ok, (quasi C++ style)

Code:

class Print{

     public static void printNumber ( int n ){
         while ( n != 0 ) {
               Console.Write ( n % 10 );
               n /= 10;
          }
       Console.WriteLine();
     }

}

Code:

class Print
{
     public static void printNumber(int n)
{
         while (n != 0) 
          {
               Console.Write(n % 10);
               n /= 10;
          }
       Console.WriteLine();
     }

}

that's dreadfully ugly. I just code like I usually do in C.

Prelude, that's about the same code you'd use if doing the same thing in Java. It makes things much easier for a Java guy (like me) when the syntax is so similar.

I'd structure the code like this...

Code:

using System;

class Print {
	public static void printNumber(int n) {
		while(n != 0) {
			Console.Write(n % 10);
			n /= 10;
		}	
		Console.WriteLine();
	}
}

class ProgramDriver {
	public static void Main() {
		Print.printNumber(45678);
	}
}

hmmm, I didn't realise Java imposed a particular style of code formating.

CompiledMonkey · 03-28-2002, 09:24 PM

Not the format in particular, but the actual code itself. Just a few changes. Example, instead of "Console.Write(n % 10);" it would be "System.out.println(n % 10);". Most of the code from this certain app could be "ported" like that.
