Single statements without braces are more readable. GPUToaster™15-May-11 18:53 GPUToaster™ 15-May-11 18:53  Also wrapping increases no of lines... A drop of water breaks a rock not by brute force but by patience. Re: Single statements without braces are more readable.

Re: Single statements without braces are more readable. Jigar K Oza15-May-11 20:56 Jigar K Oza 15-May-11 20:56  Readability matters when the code size increase and it is in maitainance stage or it moves from one developer to another developer.

Re: Single statements without braces are more readable. Jigar K Oza15-May-11 21:17 Jigar K Oza 15-May-11 21:17  Consistency in coding style comes automatically for a regular developer, but readability is equally important for a project. JKOZA Re: Single statements without braces are more readable. Niklas L15-May-11 21:41 Niklas L 15-May-11 21:41  You are talking about readability in general, which is not what the poll is about. It compares two styles. Some say the one is more readable, some say the other. If you for a second forget your own preferences, it's not hard to see that readability here is just a matter of what style one's used to. So, I'm saying readability is not the issue here. The two styles can however have other benefits over the other. Only because you say apples taste better than pears, doesn't mean you're right. It doesn't mean you're wrong either, if you see what I mean. Re: Single statements without braces are more readable. Jigar K Oza15-May-11 22:46 Jigar K Oza 15-May-11 22:46  I agree that two styles can have other benefits over the other. And I am also not saying that I am right. And I am talking about readability in terms of these two styles only. I am just telling my point of view. And I am comparing two styles by readability which can be one of the points to compare two styles. And if there is no points common between two styles then how can you compare two styles?

Seriously, people who can't cope with single line if statements probably should consider another career.
