If you add line feeds, the readability result is the similar.
if ($foo){
doFoo();
} elseif ($bar){
doBar();
} else {
doSomethingElse();
}
Doing this each structure becomes its own compound sentence or stanza in a
poem, as opposed to reading like a run-on sentence:
if ($foo){
doFoo();
} elseif ($bar){
doBar();
} else {
doSomethingElse();
}
Or from the Java-like example, like odd placement of punctuation meant more for
a computer, not a human:
Hello
,
my name is Josh
.
I’m new to this conversation and group
;
so
,
I apologize in advance for any any social faux pas I commit
.
And am open to gentle assistance on that score
.
Cheers,
Josh Bruce
