It's not really about 80 chars. It's about readable code. Nesting of
appropriate items makes it easier to quickly understand the logic of
your program. Such items include: if, for, while, function, switch,
classes, etc. In essence, any structure that has a start and an end.
This is a standardized practice among programmers. It's become
standardized for one reason: it's easier to read. Check out these
examples and you tell me which you can grasp more quickly?
Example One:
if ($Easy == 'no') {echo 'why do you need to struggle?';
echo 'more stuff that you need to decipher';
echo 'Hmm... did that if end already?;}
echo 'Or is it still processing if $Easy = no?';
Example Two:
if ($Easy == 'yes') {
echo 'why do you need to struggle?';
echo 'more stuff that you need to decipher';
echo 'Hmm... did that if end already?;
}
echo 'Why, yes it did!';
Enjoy,
