How do you use brackets?

[godihatefacepun]

Hey facepunch.

When I first started programming I would put my brackets on the same line as my symbols and loops and shit.

if (foo) {
[indent]foo->bar();[/indent]
}

Now I do it like:

if (foo) 
{
[indent]foo->bar();[/indent]
}

This dude told me you should never have anything on the same line as a bracket...what do you do facepunch?

[Tu154M]

I throw a dice. A two sided one.

[raccoon12]

[cpp]if(foo)
{
foo->bar();
}
[/cpp]

[swebonny]

It doesn't matter but I have it on a new line.

[jivemasta]

I put it on a new line, I like a ton of white space in my code. And I keep similar stuff blocked together seperated by a blank line. Like if I declare a class and then have to set properties and stuff with it, I have that all together and then for the next class or whatever I put a blank line then start the next stuff.

[efeX]

[cpp]if (foo)
{
foo->bar();
}[/cpp]

[Kat of Night]

Am I the only one who does it K&R style (same line)?

[Eleventeen]

My coding style is a mutated one.

I use tabs as whitespace and use one line if statements.

[cpp]bool COSLayerWin32::init(void)
{
// Create the window with the properties for the OS layer.
if(createWindow(properties->windowTitle, properties->width, properties->height, properties->bits, properties->fullscreen,
properties->cursorVisibleWindowed, properties->cursorVisibleFullscreen) == true) // If creating the window had an error.
return true;

return false;
}[/cpp]

What is this foo bar stuff?

[Jallen]

[QUOTE=Pj The Dj;16720708]What is this foo bar stuff?[/QUOTE]

Just well used programming words. It's like "hello world".
It's just a thing people do.

[nullsquared]

I do it brackets-on-their-own-line.

That's retarded

if (foo==bar) $fb='bar';

[NovembrDobby]

foo() {
   bar = 1;
}

looks retarded

[Overv]

I use a newline in functions, but for everything else, on the same line.

[PvtCupcakes]

[QUOTE=NovembrDobby;16721129]

foo() {
   bar = 1;
}

Thats pretty much the standard for Java. I do Java at work, so that's what I do.
For C and C++ I do

foo()
{
   bar = 1;
}

[Mattz333]

I like to do all my coding on one line.
[cpp]
for(int i = 0; i < foo.size(); i++){ if(foo[i]){foo[i].bar(i);};};return 0;
[/cpp]
hardcore

[Cathbadh]

For functions and class definitions, I always do a new line. For loops and conditionals and stuff (brackets nested beyond the first level) I do same line. It just helps me associate the code with the conditional better.

foo()
{
  for(bar = 0; bar < 8; bar++) {
    baz += bar;
  }
}

[aVoN]

It doesn't matter at all where the bracket is but I prefere coding stuff like this

int main(){
  //do some stuff
  for(int i=1;i <= 2;i++){
    call_this_function("hi","no space between arguments","which is good");
  }
  return 0;
}

Instead of

int main()
{

  //So much freaking wasted space everywhere
  
  for(int i = 1 ; i <= 2; i++ )
  }
    call_this_function("hi" , "so much inconsistent spaces between function arguments", "which sucks" );
  }

  return 0;

}

How you see I prefere the first method for the following reasons

[list]
[*]It saves space
[*]Starting new lines for every shit you add (e.g. opening brackets) blows up the code and makes it harder to read
[*]Adding spaces between functionarguments sucks because you may sometimes forget to add them so the code looks not everywhere the same
[/list]

This is why I code like in my first example. Anyway, it doesn't matter how you code. It's just a personal thing.
Anyway, what I hate more are people using spaces instead of tabs or adding spaces/tabs at the end of a line (because of stupid copy & paste or similar).

[codebliss]

int foo(int a) { 
    int temp = 5;

    mutate(a);
    callShit(a,temp)

    return doShit(temp);
}

I still can't find what to do with the end brace. I hate it on it's own line, yet it gives whitespace, yet there's nowhere else to really put it..

[when]

int what(int butt)
{
	if(butt)
		return 1;
	return 0;
}

[ryandaniels]

I do the same line thing. The way I conceptualize it, it makes more sense. I see it as the function starts right there, so the bracket comes right after I start the function. putting it on a new line makes it's seem like they are separate to me.

Also, does anyone else put spaces between parenthesis? I can't stand having "))", so I will always breaks them up into ") )".

I am the same way. :)

[bl4h]

It really doesn't matter, but I do the same thing aVoN does. When I first viewed tutorials on the internet the author wrote the brackets on the same line, so I did the same thing and got into a habit of doing it.

[t0rento]

I do:
[cpp]
void myFunction()
{
int aNumber = 0;
MyClass instance;
if( instance.getIndex() == aNumber )
{
aNumber += 1
}
else
{
aNumber -= 1
}
}
[/cpp]

I used to do the style that most people are using in this thread
[cpp]
void func()
{

}
[/cpp]
But Code Complete convinced me to change to my current style, I prefer it.

[Giraffen93]

<?
if($a == $b){
    $c = "Hello World";
}
?>

:geno:

[iPope]

I change my coding style every 4-5 lines because I'm an arsehole :P

[Videvik]

Usually
[cpp]
void MyFunc()
{
// code stuff here
}
[/cpp]

[Omnimancer]

brackets on another line
its cleaner

[Overv]

[lua]void foo( int bar )
{
if ( foo == bar ) {
foobar( );
}
}[/lua]

[Sloped]

[cpp]
void foo(int b, int a, int r)
{
if(foo == b + a + r && b + a + r == fight)
{
doshit();
doshit2();
}
else if(ReallyLongAndAnnoyingConditionalStatementIsTrue)
OneFunctionForConditional();
else if(PrettyShortConditional) IntVar = 0;
}
[/cpp]

That's how I do it.
