if(statement is true)

In what school this philosophy lies?

Don't know, but I can tell you that if you ever find your function returning "the meaning of life" then something has gone horribly horribly wrong. :-/

A decent compiler would issue a diagnostic for that final else clause.

return 42; 
This would be it I think.

That's fuzzy logic and would mean that "statement" could not be a boolean variable having only two states. An example would be if you were testing to see if a string was equal to something. An exact match would be true and a partial match would be not false or true and a complete miss would be false.
Statement = "My dog has fleas"
if( Statement = "dog" )
else if( Statement contains "dog" case insensitively)
else

It means people have too much free time.

How much free-time do you have?
|
|
|
|
|
A little time for suggesting a survey but so much time for answering a question

Well
If NOT IsEOF

If there is code under both true and false conditions then I put the true block first, otherwise it's dependent...so I need to select two choices...

the normal case (and that better be the positive one) first, unless the normal case extends over more than a screen full or a page full AND the special case is extremely short.
BTW: I tried not to ask nor elicit a question, it says "Please DO NOT POST PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS HERE."

The survey is paramount to the following code:
bool a;
if(!a)
{
a = false;
}
elseif(a)
{
a = true;
}

"Behind every seamingly trival task there are vast schools of philosophy."
Maybe so. But I think the survey's description should read:
"Behind every seemingly trival task there are vastly different schools of thought."

That all depends on one's philosophy doesn't it?

Philosophy doesn't imply thought. There is the philosophy of, "that's how I was told to do it".
