Re^7: bloated 'if' formatting

Maybe you are young and haven't been bitten enough times yet.

58, going 59, coding since 1969. Bitten enough to know which trade offs to make.

I do appreciate your reasoning. I share your concerns, but in my experience, if people add new code in random places, I've a bigger problem than just my statements no longer being together.

I just sometimes prefer to split up complex statements into smaller parts. IMO, when modificiations are in order, simpler statements are less error prone than complex ones.

58, going 59, coding since 1969. I see you've arrived at your own conclusions via your own experiences. I tip my hat to you Sir.

The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.	[reply]
