This is how my prof uses braces:

If () {
test;
} else {
test2;
}

He uses it as an example of how to use line breaks properly.

    Does he really uses If with capital I? 😓

    I like your professors braces. But he could use some indentation

    This is how I do it as well.

    @Olverine not giving the else a new line should be illegal!

    Uh, so in other words he uses standard java indentation?

    As long as there are braces and they are consistent within the project, it's fine.

    @Alice ok this makes sense. Probably looks ugly to me bc I am used to doing it differently

    @jobylie you are right to assume different coding sryles for different programming languages, also depending on the coding style emphasis of the repository

    That's completely okay, only indentation is missing.

    This is what I do. With proper indentation of course.
    Putting an 'else' on its own line just waists space

    @Alice braces on a separate line is the standard for C#. If I'm writing C#, I do it that way. If not, I use the braces like in the post (standard for Java, JS, CSS, etc.).

    All depends on the language standard!

    Almost identical to how I write mine.

    Switched to else in the same line some weeks ago. It's the best way (for me) because you clarify easier what the main if is

    Well I mean, Rust won't let you do it without, as this is the syntax;

    if condition {
    // lol
    }

    Using parens on the condition won't allow you to drop em, but you are encouraged to use inline if/elses in some places

    @sharktits It's famous from K&R and the C book they wrote so it's called the K&R indentation and btw it's the right indentation.
