Which coding convention do you use?

[cyberjoe]

Hi to all!

I would like to ask you which coding convention do you use?

Regards,

What do you mean by convention? Do you mean the style I use (indents/tabs, brace locations, naming)?

For what language, cyberjoe?

I've been coding a long time. I have a style that I use and prefer, and I've written and contributed to standards on at least half a dozen code bases; not to mention for customers. But I'm professional and experienced enough to fit in with whatever standard my team, clients, or coworkers are using. It's rarely worth arguing about, but I've seen teams spend weeks on that kind of foolishness.

For C like languages:
When working with existing code I try and use the style that is already being used. When writing from scratch I use something very close to K&R.

i like BSD style myself, makes it easier for me to follow my curly braces and code blocks.
