Personally, I say #2 as it's easier to read and find where you missed something. I'm sure some pasty nerd is going to correct me.

Guess I'm pasty because it's #1 or gtfo

You're tan though, so you're only pasty on the inside.

Curious as to why #1?

I'm #1 as well. I'll go so far as to function() { code;code;code; }, too.

For me, has to do with compressing lines of code so I can see more of the flow in one screen. Even on big monitors with 70+ lines I hate having to scroll up and down to see functional blocks on one screen if I don't have to, and when I'm stuck on 80x25 line terminals or worse it becomes extra important.

My editor tracks indents and brace-matching, so I don't need visual blocking to follow it.

To be clear its: (defun function(foo)oper(baz))

All other is heresy.

Function #2 is correct
The last thing I want to do is spend time hunting thru complex nested code for a { and its matching matching }

If you have to ask you'll never know.


It's just preference but as mentioned before you end up having fewer lines of code. To me it makes it easier to read.

I guess that's better than no brackets. If we keep on with this conversation this thread will have to be renamed though.

I find it harder to read. I like anything I write or have to read to be in nice blocks and no chance of missing something.

I also indent like crazy so I don't have to guess where something's nested place is. Thankfully, none of this is a present concern. I've only had to really write code for classes and a few for work that were really just to automagical some stuff *I* was doing.

You're not one of those "Your code should be simple enough that you don't have to comment" types are you?

I comment more than the other developers I work with, I put in lots and lots. I've always used K&R code style so it's just what I'm used to. Every place I've worked uses it. In the end it's a matter of what someone is comfortable with. I will say that if you work for me I'll make you use K&R.
