I can't stand it anymore. I honestly don't understand why some developers (particularly those coming from the C world) continue to vertically line up else underneath if
Nobody would ever write *
switch (expression) {
case true:
DoSomething;
break;
case false:
DoSomethingElse;
break;
}So write
if (expression)
then DoSomething;
else DoSomethingElse;If you're writing in C or C++, use
#define then so you can use the keyword anyway. If your language doesn't allow macros, then just indent as if there was a then keyword there anyway.
if (expression)
DoSomething;
else DoSomethingElse;That last might look a little odd by itself but once you need multiple statements inside the then and/or else, it makes total sense again.
if (expression)
{
DoLotsOfThings;
}
else
{
DoLotsOfOtherThings;
}
* By the way, I would normally indent everything under the switch as well but I'm ignoring that here to avoid an orthogonal issue about block structures. In case you're wondering:
switch (expression)
{
case true:
DoSomething;
break;
case false:
DoSomethingElse;
break;
} Set as favorite
