    This is the only way;

    if (condition) {
        code
    }
    

    Not

    if (condition)
    {
        code
    }
    

    Also because of my dyslexia I prefer variable & function names like this; ‘File_Acces’ I find it easier to read than ‘fileAcces’

        I’m not a programmer (I tried learning programming and unity but got lazy so…) but when I learned about if-then statements, the second one seemed like the way it’s supposed to be; I mean it looks so clean and simple. Do actual programmers prefer the first method?

          I prefer the first method because it reduces the number of empty lines I have to scroll past and visually filter out

          The 2nd is the style guide used in C#, and therefore what you’ve encountered in unity.

      I’ve only seen the second type in C#, to be fair it makes code neater but i’m glad I left it for Java.

        How does it make code neater? All it does is add a ton of empty vertical space. It makes files arbitrarily longer at essentially no benefit.

      It depends for me. If the condition is some goofy ahh multiline syntax hell i like to use the second option.

      I use all 3.

      If it’s very short and there’s 2 or more in a row, I’ll put it all in one line.

      If there’s a bunch of nested if statements, I’ll use the second.

      If neither of those conditons, I’ll use the first.
