else/else if on newline

[rumkin]

I prefer to move logic constructions in separated lines:

if (a) {
    // ...
}
else if (a != b) {
   // ...
}
else {
    // ...
}

This makes code more git friendly (like trailing commas). And also it makes it simple to comment else if and else sections. Each block is prepended with it's own condition.

"} else .." has a more natural feeling to it.

to comment else section you has to comment the whole else section, no doubt

So why u dont prefer this?

if (condition)
{
  logic();
}

You can comment whole code block this way. I think if code consists of lots of lines it looks more complicated.

@pokatomnik Because if could not be presented without {. It would be followed by { anyway.

[michaelmano]

if (condition) {
 // Trick
} else {
 // Treat
}

If-else condition contains several repeated patterns of: keyword [condition] code_block.

if () {}
else if () {}
else {}

This style contains less parts then monolithic if-else. And as I mentioned before It produce exact diffs when new statement added or removed.
