Amateur! I use coments so it looks like this:
function main(){ /tab/if(fish==2){ /tab//tab/console.log(“i need help”); /tab/} }
3 spaces is best because if the universe is chaos then everything in it should reflect that.
I’m more about increasing spaces exponentially to really highlight how important each line is
public boolean function() { if (method()) { if (otherMethod()) { for (Object o : list()) { if (o.isAlive()) { return false; } } } } return true; }
This is horrifying, this is straight up blaspheny
For real. OP needs to give up on this ridiculous notion of tabbed whitespace and learn to use real, monospaced indentation. How wide is a tab? OP couldn’t tell you because tabs are inherently dishonest – a lie concocted by big keyboard to poison the unwashed programmer masses.
Tabs are one tab character wide, it’s perfect
You’re one character wide
If people want me to write into my code what it does, I guess I’ll label everything:
#include <iostream> #include <cstdint> #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-label" int main() { A:int a = 4; B:if ((uintptr_t)&a & 0x100) BA:std::cout << "hi" << std::endl; else BB:std::cout << "hello" << std::endl; C:return 0; }Note that this is much better for code style because - as opposed to the semicolon indentation- the single statement if and else branches still work. The trailing else is on the same line on purpose, it’s so small it doesn’t need its own line. Here’s another style with similar properties:
[[,]]int a = 4; [[,]]if ((uintptr_t)&a & 0x100) [[,,]]std::cout << "hi" << std::endl; else [[,]]std::cout << "hello" << std::endl; [[,]]return 0;I know why it’s there, but it still annoys me that there’s a semicolon on the last line
int mostCursedIndentation (const int someVal) @safe { {}{}if (someVal < 0) { {}{}{}{}throw new Exception ("Value cannot be negative!"); {}{}} {}{}return someVal * 5 - 3; }i dont wanna talk about the lua version of this
local function someFunction(arg) do end local SomeLocal = 40; do end if arg > SomeLocal then do end do end SomeLocal = Somelocal + arg do end elseif arg < SomeLocal then do end do end arg = arg * 2 do end do end if SomeLocal > arg then do end do end do end error("oh my god why are you trying to read this") do end do end end do end end do end return SomeLocal end someFunction(-0.3000000000000124976137894613978561389741642978623178913786926473891)
…this…this can’t be real…no one is that much of a sadist are they?
This whole thread is what nightmares are made of.
So at my work we’ve implemented a automatic code formatter. Instead of having discussions about the process of changing the configuration file we just put it up on GitHub. I think I might have found a fun April fool’s prank.
