people who write code like this actually give me heart palpitations. No it is not cleaner, you literally broke the block, it's disgusting.

if(statement)
{
doSomething();
}

whats the alternative?

@rookiemaverick
if (statement)
{
doSomething ();
}

?

I think their complaining about coding styles and specifically indentation.

if(statement){
doSomething();
}

I do that. Is it correct?

so pretty much you guys are talking abt code formatting. I use select all and ctrl f to do that.

Slightly irrational over-reaction there. It's code style and it's utterly, totally, 100% opinion. Based on how you learned, what languages you use and what your group/team/company already has as their style guide.

@samk exactly, like I love lot's of white space in mine, other people don't.

just remove the { } since it's 1 instruction and it will be even cleaner.
If(cond)
dosh17();

@Venom Technically valid but so, so risky. I've never worked anywhere which allowed this style and I strongly advocate avoiding it. Make your natural instinct be to include the braces - reduces potential future bugs and IMHO improves readability.
