agreed. i have a pet peeve when it comes to ugly code.
for example i know a bunch of people code like this...
-------------------
if (this = this) {
do these commands;
} else {
do these commands;
}
-------------------
i can't stand that.
i would do...
-------------------
if(this = this)
{
do these commands;
}
else
{
do these commands;
}
-------------------
looks much better, even though that was just some abitrary language i
used. my point is not so much the syntax but rather the placement of the
{ } characters.
and so that's why i strive to make my code neat and clean. for the good
of humanity really.
