Poll of the Moment CLXXIII

[Hauskaz]

Brace on the same line:

CSS
body {
display: block;
background-color: white;
}

Java
if (number == 3) {
System.out.print("The number is three.");
} else {
System.out.print("The number is not three.");
}

PHP
if ($number == 3) {
echo "The number is three.";
} else {
echo "The number is not three.";
}

Brace on the next line:

CSS
body
{
display: block;
background-color: white;
}

Java
if (number == 3)
{
System.out.print("The number is three.");
}
else
{
System.out.print("The number is not three.");
}

PHP
if ($number == 3)
{
echo "The number is three.";
}
else
{
echo "The number is not three.";
}

Brace on the next line is so much neater.

[Daryl]

I concur with Michael.

No braces is even neater than that, though.

[Cheesemaster IV]

It won't work if you don't put the braces.

[Daryl]

I was referring to Python.

[hellomeow]

I thought the if/else statements in Java would have worked fine without brackets being single line procedures.

[Hauskaz]

They technically aren't needed in the examples I provided, but that's not the point. In practice, I include them anyways for consistency and in case I decide to modify it later.

Can't stand having it on another line

[Hauskaz]

Placing it on the next line is disgusting.

[Cheesemaster IV]

You're disgusting.

I wish ProBoards wouldn't obliterate tabbing.
