curly-braces

I have noticed that the coding style in Swift appears to be to put braces on the same line as a method signature or if statement etc. Without getting into a debate about which is right or wrong, my aim is simply tom get Xcode to put the braces on a new line when it does its auto completion and for the new file templates. I've tried the advice here and it doesn't work: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/23087 I'm using Xcode 8.1 on Sierra. Has anyone else been able to get this to work? Thanks, Alan You can use below methods in conjusction to acomplish this task. Snippet Edit Snippet Edit

I use curly braces with all of my switch case statements in C/Objective-C/C++ I had not, until a few moments ago, considered whether including the break; statement inside the braces was good or bad practice. I suspect that it doesn't matter, but I figure it is still worth asking. switch (foo) { case 1: { // stuff break; } default: { break; } } vs switch (foo) { case 1: { // stuff } break; default: { // stuff } break; } Short answer: it doesn't matter. Just a give a slightly more detailed answer... The official C99 specification says the following about the break statement: A break statement

I'm using the C++ Extension for VSCode (Visual Studio Code) . Currently, I have the setting "C_Cpp.clang_format_formatOnSave" set to true . This format's my code when I save my C++ file. But the format results in curly braces on new lines rather than on the same line. Current C++ VSCode Formatted for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { // ... } What I Want C++ VSCode Formatted Code to Look Like for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { // ... } I also have editor.wrappingIndent set to "same" . How can I make curly braces in C++ format on the same line in Visual Studio Code? Go Preferences -> Settings Search for C

what is the difference between curly brace and square bracket in python? A ={1,2} B =[1,2] when I print A and B on my terminal, they made no difference. Is it real? And sometimes, I noticed some code use {} and [] to initialize different variables. E.g. A=[] , B={} Is there any difference there? Curly braces create dictionaries or sets . Square brackets create lists . They are called literals ; a set literal: aset = {'foo', 'bar'} or a dictionary literal: adict = {'foo': 42, 'bar': 81} empty_dict = {} or a list literal: alist = ['foo', 'bar', 'bar'] empty_list = [] To create an empty set, you

What is the keyboard short cut in Eclipse to jump to the closing brace of a scope? ninesided Place the cursor next to an opening or closing brace and punch Ctrl + Shift + P to find the matching brace. If Eclipse can't find one you'll get a "No matching bracket found" message. edit: as mentioned by Romaintaz below , you can also get Eclipse to auto-select all of the code between two curly braces simply by double-clicking to the immediate right of a opening brace. Romain Linsolas As the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + P has been cited, I just wanted to add a really interesting feature: just double-click

I'm currently trying to learn some C in my spare time. I have some experience in Java, and I'm therefore used to limit scoping of i.e. variables with curly braces. But I'm a bit confused, as it seems like Brian W. Kernighan/Dennis M. Ritchie's book "The C Programming Language" doesn't use a lot of curly braces, where I would assume it's normal to use them (from a Java perspective). E.g. 1.6 in the book where the code is: while((c = getchar())) != EOF) if (c >= '0' && c <= '9') ++ndigit[c-'0']; else if() /*and so forth...*/ ++nwhite; else ++nother; From a Java perspective I'm used to that only

Possible Duplicate: why results varies upon placement of curly braces in javascript code We have company policies that dictate that in PHP opening curly braces should be on their own lines for readability and so that they can line-up with the closing brace; thus: if (true) { ... } but in JS they should be kept on the same line, in case there are problems with browsers incorrectly interpretting it . if (true) { ... Is the above italic part a legitimate concern? PS - I suspect that this question has been asked on here already, but I've not found a question that exactly matches mine. Apologies if

When do you use code blocks in C/C++/C#, etc.? I know the theoretical reason behind them, but when do you use them in real programs? EDIT : I have just realised that I use them in switch statements, where variables would otherwise be in the same scope (grr for things like i ): switch (x) { case "abc": { /* code */ } break; } etc (Just to clarify, in a switch statement, the extra braces are NOT required.)
