[POLL] Do you like "then,do,end" or "{ }"?

General discussion about LÖVE, Lua, game development, puns, and unicorns.

Do you like "then,do,end" or "{ }"?

"then,do,end" is just fine

82%
"{ }" would be better

what about use unrelated words instead of "end" and "{}" like:

Code: Select all

if a = b then
     draw()
cat

{ }s are confusing, and just don't don't look neat. then,do,end is the best way to go in my opinion

I think you meant

Code: Select all

if a == b then
     draw()
cat

depends on the langue i referred to in basic its just If a = b then
but yes in lua its if a == b then

it was kinda a joke.

      doNothingReally();
}
Just thought I should turn that into Java to make it more readable.

What about C++?

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    int a = 5;
    int b = 5;
    if (a == b) {
        cout << "Hello, World" << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

simple C++ if statements like that are great. But once you really get into C++.... omg...

I agree. I don't like C++, but I do like Java! Java's a great language.I like the fact that you can string stuff like this together:

Code: Select all

obj = new ClassThingy()
obj.isTrue = doThis().doThat().doOther().box2d().libgdx()
It makes code more readable IMO. I've been trying to setup LDT for LÖVE because I really like Eclipse. Any videos I find don't help or any docs don't help, so it's a real pain in the butt to do. But ctrl-spacebar to see all the options you have... WONDERFUL.

That's not really a property of Java, you can do that in any language. (Except maybe PHP.)
