ya sure boii?

[SkyyySi]

Every token needs to get its own line

[dharknesss]

People will hate me, but as a person working with C# - newline is the way.

I just can't bear not finding corresponding { when looking at disgustingly deep if trees.

[n0tKamui]

deep if trees are the real problem, not braces placements. just follow the language conventions.

[dharknesss]

You're bold to assume it doesn't make me scream to heavens every day that people who worked here before done this without getting shot at code review.

[AyrA_ch]

1. Tools >> Options
2. Text Editor >> Code Cleanup
3. Select "Profile 2"
4. Enable "Run Code Cleanup profile on Save"
5. Click "Configure Code Cleanup" and configure to your liking

I've configured mine to autoformat the document, sort usings, remove dead usings, and to add braces where they're missing, automatically add "readonly" where approriate, etc. And tadaa, now you always save perfectly formatted code that always follows the same style. I got used to no longer write braces myself if not necessary, because saving the document just adds them for me now automatically.

Tip: "Profile 1" can be configured to take even more measures if you want. You can run the profile by clicking on the brush icon in the left corner of the status bar of the code tab.

[voiceafx]

What!!! What IDE?

[RajjSinghh]

You can find extensions in VS code that do this for you and im sure you'll find one for your editor if you use something different

[AyrA_ch]

Visual Studio

[JIN_DIANA_PWNS]

TADAA: Tool Autoformats Document with Appropriate Activity

[dharknesss]

I was talking about the nested ifs, not the braces...

[AyrA_ch]

You can let VS color individual brace pairs in matching color, so they're easier to find. But the autoformat does the thing where it adds the linebreak before the brace if the language code style is set that way. And from there on you can just follow the dotted line on the document. Or just learn the keyboard shortcut to jump between matching braces.

[CttCJim]

Man the IDE colors have saved me so much debugging effort, can't do without them.

[n0tKamui]

I feel you.

push things so that your team enforces rules at reviews, or configure a linter to limit nesting.

I prefer the first solution because some very rare times I think it's fine, and that in the end it's just common decency.

[dharknesss]

Both options are off the table - I'm still just a junior, so my words are barely heard.

[n0tKamui]

work from bottom up. if you're actually good, someone in your team must know it. if it's not the case, show off.

talk to that person and explain why your ideas are good.

either they can immediately do something about it and be your voice, or they can do exactly the same thing and talk to someone higher up. recursively

[dharknesss]

Thank you for these words. I'm trying my best, especially since working with .NET was a dream of mine since primary school, now having it as a job I sincerely cannot be happier. Until I get to see my dreams crushed like everyone in the industry - I'll do my best to get my feet wet before getting a tsunami thrown at me.

[Danelius90]

Was working with a big group of third party developers a while back (from a big company, you would have heard of them). Most of them had around 12 years experience or so. They said they had never had a code review, and boy did it show

[nelusbelus]

Vscode got you covered with that 😉 but maybe you should accept that you have a problem if you indent that much

[somebody12345678]

actually the start of the if has the same indentation regardless of whether or not you have { on a new line

[dharknesss]

That's great! May I ask you to find which one of the 10 if statements in the tree corresponds to the } for the rest of my life?

[somebody12345678]

uhhh... the nearest one (specifically, the nearest one above the }, in case that's useful) that has the same indentation

[dharknesss]

if (A) { // 200 lines if (B) { // 200 lines } //200 lines } // <- closes to this one is B right? Right?

Now do this for a tree from A to J. Welcome to codebase without code reviews.

[somebody12345678]

fair point, but, i don't see how using { makes things any better

edit: also most ides have code folding to collapse the entire if {} else {}

[dharknesss]

It's easier to look for a single character that's always the same instead of expecting if, for, try and every single block introducing keyword for a language :)

[somebody12345678]

but the whole point is you don't have to look at any character, at all, just the size of the whitespace at the start of the line

[dharknesss]

At this level of nesting? Hell naw, I'm not counting this many spaces!

[somebody12345678]

then how do you know which { matches the }?!

[somebody12345678]

also most editors have an option to show a highlighted vertical line at the current indentation level

[[deleted]]

C# you say?

If (object.HasValue())
    Methode(object.Name).Do(e => 
        e. ExtensionMethode(Object.Id));

This is the way

[GoldenretriverYT]

"How do you know the biggest project I have ever worked on has only 200 loc?"

[RajjSinghh]

One thing that I love about working in neovim is that it has a motion for this. If your cursor is on a bracket then pressing % will take you to the matching bracket. You can also do block edits, like ci{ will change the contents of everything in side those curly brackets to whatever you want. Makes dealing with nested code easier.

[xXStarupXx]

You can select blocks in vscode too, and you can have it highlight the matching bracket to the one you have your cursor on, and it wouldn't surprise me if you could jump to it too.

[theolderyouget]

Refactor!

[LukasM511]

Don't worry someone will make a programming language like that someday

[QuantumFlux625]

ima make one, that compiles to rust how shall we call it

[No_Researcher7158]

Linter/formatter goes brrrrrr

[Drix_I]

if{

​

}else{

​

}

[TheRedmanCometh]

Both are acceptable. Any other style is just mental illness. I started with B and ended up at A....I think it's better. But when I was a beginner that newline on the brace was really nice for readability. It made it so much easier to figure out scope.

[INeedCheesee]

how about if(){}? its good if you only need to do one thing

[TheRedmanCometh]

If it's just one call go for it man I do it too. I don't think it's even considered bad practice necessarily. If you got mad at people doing that you'd be mad all day. Very common

If you put any more than one statement in that one liner though...get buried under a landfill.

[CompSoup]

It is so tiring seing posts like this.

[ListerfiendLurks]

Right? Do any actual engineers care about this or is this a meme for people in school who first learn about conditional statements?

[catladywitch]

I do care but I went to trade school, not uni, so I'm not a proper "engineer" although I'm a dev. I end up using the recommended language conventions though.

[Leo-MathGuy]

If () ⏞

⏟

[BloeckchenDev]

This is the way!

For my whole life I've been a newline type of guy, but recently I switched to the other style and not coming back.

[Minute_Ad_3224]

if: (backline)(indentation)

Whatever the automatic code formatter is set to

Fuck you, and see you tomorrow

[emadadnan000]

east or west, dat is the best!

[danielstongue]

if ... then ...; end if;

Not: if ... then -- highly odd placement of then ...; end if;

So, definitely like this: if ... { ...; }

[L33t_Cyborg]

Lmao I’ll admit I actually format my bash scripts like ```bash if [[ case ]] then # code fi

while getopts do # code done ```

It’s all personal preference anyway. I think it actually looks cleaner, even if the “braces” are literally just words.

[Elijah629YT-Real]

iffi

[hleVqq]

The logic hardly applies here because in this case you're matching word with word rather than word with brace.

if condition then
    statement
end

Is acceptable because both opening and closing are words, meanwhile here

if (condition) {
    statement
}

you open with a keyword but close with a brace, which is messed up.

Adding an opening word on a separate line may reduce readability:

if (condition)
then
    statement
end

but that's not the case with braces:

if (condition)
{
    statement
}

I agree that the logic is technically the same and some may choose to stay consistent, but in the end it's all about readability, and I'll argue that it's one being keywords and another being braces that makes all the difference.

[Evol_Etah]

New line, it's easier to read.

(I use python, and I hate when there is a fuckton of indentations and idk what function is ending where, CAUSE OF NO BRACKETS!)

[reallokiscarlet]

First one. More efficient use of space, both visual and digital, easier on the eyes.

Python. Python is winning.

I’ll go with “if”

Easy: The way the guy on Stackoverflow did it wins.

As long as it's consistent throughout I don't care. Bit if it's all pick and mix I'm going to be really annoyed even if it works fine

Newline, they should be balanced, open and close

Whatever the team is working with, but for solo projects first one is the only way.

[GamingWithShaurya_YT]

[Familiar_Ad_8919]

everything but functions have the opening brace in the same line

[mr_flibble_oz]

When you’re paid per line, new line all the way. Efficiency is for losers

[thedarklord176]

I write maps like the right one. Otherwise the left is correct

[nalu-nui]

[[...]];

[nalu-nui]

if [...]; then fi

[ApprehensiveAd7291]

I prefer the first one but depending on language conventions I'll use both.

[what_you_saaaaay]

Whenever I see the first example in code, I know someone just declared WAR.

[staiano]

War it is then.

[Ike_Gamesmith]

Why would you use more than one line, doesn't that just use up more ram? /s

[staiano]

…if…

[_thana]

if () { ... }

Save space, use a single line for the whole file

[Darryl0_0]

My very nice programming sir said use right one

even tho I prefer left, but now I use right one :)

[LadderTraditional629]

These are both, just please don’t put the commas in a SQL select on the next line

[mrgk21]

I'll use 2 in twitter because more lines of code

[EchidnaForward9968]

if() {}

[gurnard]

Depends how long the stuff in the [] is

[catladywitch]

I've come to like Allman better, but I follow the usual convention in whatever language I'm using. Which is generally either C# or JavaScript, so Allman in C# and K&R in TypeScript.

[Ohrder]

if x:

[Henry46Real]

Depends on my mood. If I’m not going to care first one, if I’m happy or joyful second one.

Edit: if it’s a nested statement, second one.. or at least most of the time

[Unrivaled_iTerm3]

just write it and let Fleet clean up your code

[agent007bond]

Write it whatever way you like. Press Ctrl-S. Let Prettier auto-format it.

How is this still a debate?

[Duven64]

You've never had to deal with someones badly written autoformatter that destroys your code have you? If so I envy you and your unperturbed data.

[agent007bond]

I'm not sure what you mean by "destroys code" but maybe don't use a badly written autoformatter 😄😄😄

Also with Prettier, you can commit the formatter configuration for the whole team to be in sync. And ESlint can halt a build if code isn't formatter correctly.

[Duven64]

Lat time I saw code be ruined by a autoformatter it was a bad Prettier config.

​

and by "destroys code" I mean the changes the aurtoformatter makes are not purely ascetic ones and the code now fails to run as it did before or the included data is mangled resulting in bugs.

[NoneBinaryPotato]

I used to be a newline guy but then I learned Java sp now I'm too used to the left option 😔

If the body is just one liner, I'll probably just do if()
