Why do people do this? - Toroi - 14.03.2017

I was quite sure I was a healthy person until few weeks ago:

I've seen it everywhere, from YSI files to tutorials, every fucking where.

Instead of this:

Код:

new variable;

people do this:

Код:

new
	variable;

Like fucking why? what's the reason behind it? Is it more readable that way? I don't fucking think so. You do it only to demonstrate to other people that you can do it? Is that why? What the fuck man.

This triggers an OCD of mine I didn't know I had.

I find it a lot more cleaner. People do code things different you know.

pawn Код:

new
       Var

Cleaner? To me it looks like you're coding while drunk.

I hate useless whitespaces/newlines in code, you are fighting for the right thing my friend

Take a look on pattern design videos and you will know how you should program / script.

And yes its cleaner. leme show you why:

PHP код:



new PlayerName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME], Players[MAX_PLAYERS], PlayerID[MAX_PLAYERS], string[128], Handle[1800];

so you judge which is more clean and easier to read:

PHP код:



new 

    PlayerName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME], 

    Players[MAX_PLAYERS], 

    PlayerID[MAX_PLAYERS], 

    string[128], 

    Handle[1800]

;

That example I can understand, it does not look cleaner to me though, but it does not look bad either. However, my focus is on single variables as I showed in my first post.

It depends on people's perspective and styles, I do sometimes uses that method and I sometimes uses the first example.

@op to me one space for single declaration is clearer but it might not be same for all.
