Horstmann Style
The 1997 edition of Computing Concepts with C++ Essentials by Cay S. Horstmann adapts Allman by placing the first statement of a block on the same line as the opening brace.
while (x == y) { something; somethingelse; //... if (x < 0) { printf("Negative"); negative(x); } else { printf("Non-negative"); nonnegative(x); } } finalthing;This style combines the advantages of Allman by keeping the vertical alignment of the braces for readability and easy identification of blocks, with the saving of a line of the K&R style. However the 2003 edition now uses Allman style throughout.

Famous quotes containing the word style:
“Style is the dress of thoughts; and let them be ever so just, if your style is homely, coarse, and vulgar, they will appear to as much disadvantage, and be as ill received, as your person, though ever so well-proportioned, would if dressed in rags, dirt, and tatters.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
