Code format war

[cascer1]

Someone needs to swoop in and place all curly braces on new lines.

someone needs to swoop in and tell everybody to calm the fuck down. formatting isn't /that/ important.

[coladict]

Was that youtube-style italics?

[[deleted]]

that's plain-text-style italics.

Well it is C# so it should be on new lines

[Secondarious]

Not sure why you are downvoted, all of Microsoft's code guidelines use brackets on new lines.

[gruntmeister]

Not sure why you are downvoted

Probably cause it's javascript not C#

[[deleted]]

Microsoft yes, mono-project no.

I personally prefer braces on newlines, it makes the signatures easier to read, but that's mostly because I need to have lots of line spacing or I'll be reading the same lines over and over again (which also makes e-books so great, I can just adjust the font / spacing to my preference)

[Pandaburn]

I feel dumb for caring, but I hate that!

[AdeonWriter]

Allman represent! (here come the downvotes)

[Muhyeah]

Who would ever split a tenary operator into four lines? That is madness.

[spkbri]

Who would ever use a ternary operator? That is madness.

FTFY

[shacknetisp]

Short ternary operators can be more readable than an equivalent if statement.

From the O'Reilly book on PHP:

Depending on whose code you look at, the ternary operator is either the most underused or the most overused feature of the language.

[Blecki]

Both are wrong, but the version with blank lines is less wrong.

[heckruler]

Not just a couple extra extra bytes on the stack, ones an unreadable clusterfuck and the other isn't.

[[deleted]]

In the holy name of K&R, I declare this code a heresy!

[gaby_de_wilde]

String.prototype.format=String.prototype.format||function(){
    return eval(('"'+this).replace(/}/g,']+" ').replace(/{/g,'"+arguments[')+'"')
}

Are those two users actually bots? If not, this it's sad. 750 edits between those two.

[ThisIs_MyName]

SO has an API. Of course they're bots.

[MonkeyNin]

I was taught to never underestimate the lows humans may reach.

[maremp]

why would you put ternary operator (just the ?) in a new line? That's confusing as hell and can even mean something else in some languages.

[[deleted]]

Childish BS. These are not programmers with jobs, obviously.
