Thread: Which style of if loops is most common?

does anyone do this?

Code:

if( 1 )
{
	x++; 
}else{              //same line
	x--;
}

i think it looks much more solid

Code:

int main()
{
    try {
        while(condition)
        {
            if(stuff)
            {
                dothings;
                dothings;
            }
            else
                meh();
         }
    }
    catch(Exception e) { 
        e.what(); 
    }
}
void meh()
{
    do {
        int nRet = thingz();
        if(nRet == -1) break;
    } while(nRet != 0);
}

I have a lot of odd rules, however generally sticking to number 2 (do try and catch don't actually have that high a ratio in my code really). Sometimes I inline small statements following an if too, just if putting it on a newline puts it out of place. Also, 1-2 space indentation is killer, I don't know how some people swear by it. I need like 4-6 spaces per tab at least.

I accidentally voted 3, but use 2.

I use Allman/BSD, like a lot of the rest of you. It just seems much more clear and easier to read, especially when debugging.

I see K&R used alot in tutorials and such, but I never liked it...

The same can be said about Whitesmith

Code:

FILE *fp = fopen("out", "wt");

is (usually) the same as

Code:

FILE *fp = fopen("out", "w");

The latter uses the system default, which is usually 't' (text mode) but can be 'b' (binary mode). You can open a file in binary mode, too.

Code:

FILE *fp = fopen("out", "wb");

So yes, t is a valid mode.

Umm... are you sure that's in the right thread?

EDIT: Nevermind... I didn't read the whole thread.
