When I write code, I try to group lines of similar code together, then leave a blank line and write another block.
I believe this contributes to the neatness and readabi
It sounds like I space lines of code similar to you.
But this is an irrelevant, personal preference and everybody is going to have thier own 'right way' to do it. The most important thing, IMHO, is to adapt the style of the environment you are going into.
Also, you will find code like this in the 'real world' ... but it sounds like you have higher aspirations. ;-)
EDIT: ... not higher aspirations than the 'real world', but higher than the mediocre crap common in the 'real world'. ... if you do happen to have higher aspirations than the 'real world' however, you might want to see a professional. ;-)
