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)

    “Not being able to control events, I control myself; and I adapt myself to them, if they do not adapt themselves to me.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “To translate, one must have a style of his own, for otherwise the translation will have no rhythm or nuance, which come from the process of artistically thinking through and molding the sentences; they cannot be reconstituted by piecemeal imitation. The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of one’s own style and creatively adjust this to one’s author.”
    —Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
