Spacing style

[proggR]

I started working at a job a couple months ago and the boss really stresses "proper" spacing. I do it because I have to and its not really that different from how I normally code but it is strange to get used to. I was wondering how everyone else spaces their code.

 

How I normally space my code:

if(condition){
    //code
}

 

How I space my code at work:

if (condition) {
    //code
}

 

 

As I said, its not that different but getting used to those extra spaces is actually harder than I thought it would be.

 

I'd be interested in seeing what other people use.

i write an if condition how you normally would..

I started working at a job a couple months ago and the boss really stresses "proper" spacing.

They were probably saying that because both the PHP manual and the Zend Framework use the same exact style for IF blocks, but are different when it comes to class constructors and methods.

It depends on the project.

 

My typical when doing a quick script that isn't attached to a project:

if($condition == value)
{
  return $x;
}

It's hardly noticable..?

Also, you may already know this, but you can import an XML sheet to auto-format/space your code.  I know for Eclipse you just hotkey ctr+shft+F.

I really shut setup my environment to format the way I'm asked. It would make things a lot easier. I've had it autoformat a file once but it wasn't setup the same way so I stopped using it. I used to use it before every save when I worked with Java in Eclipse/RAD. There were no formatting guidelines to follow there though.
