Indent Style - Compact Control Readability Style

Compact Control Readability Style

This style makes it easy to skim the left edge of the code for control statements (whereas styles like 1TBS make statements such as "else" harder to see because they are after an end bracket on the same line). However it keeps the code more compact than styles like the Allman style, by putting opening brackets at the end of lines (as opposed to on their own lines).

// In JavaScript if (x == y) { doSomethingA; doSomethingB; } else { doSomethingC; doSomethingD; }

Famous quotes containing the words compact, control and/or style:

    Take pains ... to write a neat round, plain hand, and you will find it a great convenience through life to write a small and compact hand as well as a fair and legible one.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    The child knows only that he engages in play because it is enjoyable. He isn’t aware of his need to play—a need which has its source in the pressure of unsolved problems. Nor does he know that his pleasure in playing comes from a deep sense of well-being that is the direct result of feeling in control of things, in contrast to the rest of his life, which is managed by his parents or other adults.
    Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    All my stories are webs of style and none seems at first blush to contain much kinetic matter.... For me “style” is matter.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
