I used to think the right-hand example was somehow more elegant, but over time I have developed a pronounced bias for the left-hand example.

I may have to debit you a respect-point for such obviously flawed thinking.  Sigh.

(Although they both have the indentation wrong.)

Anyone who gets to know me sufficiently well debits me all sorts of respect points. I'm used to it.

Personally I prefer K&R style (right side) because it is the way I have always done it, however, Allman style (left side), is arguably the more readable.  That said, consistency is more important than chosen style.  Anyway, I don't program for a living, so my opinion only matters for the projects I work on!

You're right.  I am not a programmer and I have no idea what you're saying.  i only learned four languages about 30 years ago (one was 40 years ago).  And one of them was assembly language that I never used except in that one class.

While both are syntactically correct, the left one is organizationally erroneous.

I'm a historian.  I'm also old. 

This old Historian who barely can use a computer correctly to connect to this forum has NO idea about why the jokes in this thread are funny.

But historically, that's probably par for the course.

Oh...but I did find this entertaining...

Complex stuff represented by ascii text, I dig it.

In some artistically creative circles, the old 8-bit and 16-bit technology of making music has made a bit of a retro comeback as well.

At least you understood it.  I had to explain it to my kids.  I guess I need to go over more chemistry with the family.

I love you guys.

A few years ago online I saw this code... I can't find it now but as best I recall it went like this (with a couple mods of my own):

public abstract class OneRing implements Invisibility{

public void ruleThemAll(){}

public void findThem(){}

public void bringThemAll(boolean isInDarkness){

  if(isInDarkness){

      bindThem();

  }

  }

private void bindThem(){}

@Override

public void makeInvisible(){}

}

· A Mormon told me that they don't drink coffee. I said, "A cup of coffee every day gives you wonderful benefits." He said, "Like what?" I said, "Well, it keeps you from being Mormon ..."

[Sunday21]

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

I'm definitely the first type. Also I like while statements to be on their own line, below the closing } of the block. Also I hate the way the new MS Visual Studio inserts spaces for you. I like to decide myself where spaces go. For comments I vastly prefer // to /* ... */. (I only ever use the latter to "comment out" code blocks temporarily.) I dislike the way most C++ textbooks tell you to give main() an integer return value, and include a totally pointless return 0; at the last line. (I daresay a dozen people will give me twenty good reasons why this is done, but none of you are going to persuade me to give up using void main();)
