Brace for it

[mvallevand]

I was just wondering if I am the only one that still likes K&R style code, it just seems so much more natural for me to type

Code:

if (condition) {
    // some code
} else {
   // some more code
}

over the MS default for C#. I know I can change this but what do others do?

Also do you any of you use a tool like indent, astyle or StyleCop http://blogs.msdn.com/sourceanalysis/ to enforce a standard?

I've always preferred having the opening and closing braces line up vertically even when screens were text mode 80x25 and lines were precious. That said, when editing code, I always continue with the style the original author used.

I used to prefer the old K&R style, but years of C++/Java/C# projects that have used the braces in-line vertically have changed my preference. I know find the K&R style a little hard to read.

How do you survive as a programmer when your spelling is so atrocious ??

programming doesn't require spelling correctly - or grammar for that matter

Why do you think programmers use i and x as variable names?

It's these general, but wordy languages that get me. Some of the Windows entry point names fill a whole line - what do you do, write with short names and do a search and replace to fill it out or have a short named internal routine that just goes to the external one?

I just let IntelliSense fill it in for me.

I prefer K&R style myself, but I'm not religious about it.

Believe it or not, my spelling isnt too bad usually, but some times when I'm typing fast (and not concentrating) all that goes out the window. I'm also prone to missing words entirely when I'm typing.
