Standard allows different style for ifs

[ghost]

This is standard:

if (1) { } else { }

This is also standard:

if (1) { }else { }

I prefer the former, my coworker prefers the latter. Can't (shouldn't?) standard make us stop fighting? :)

[julien-f]

Yes, standard makes all of us stop fighting because it chooses for us to avoid unnecessary debates over trivial things. :)

[ghost]

Yes? :)

[julien-f]

My bad, I did not understand the issue ^^

I think the first one is the most commonly used and, if one should ever been enforced, that will be it!

[rstacruz]

if (1) { }else { }
my coworker prefers the latter.

oh god. why?

[dcousens]

if (1) { }else { }

I've never seen that documented as being acceptable, and in fact it'd be my understanding that this is in fact a bug.

@feross ?

If you use the latest standard 5.3.1, if (1) { }else { } is an error.

Try reinstalling standard and give it another shot. 👍
