Question

This is a cross post from a thread in the Java Programming Forum. If you haven't read this there, read it here and please reply if you have a minute.
I'm conducting a personal study about some stuff, just
out of curiousity.
Who writes code like this:
public void method ()
for (...)
}What about this:
public void method () {
for (...) {
}Who puts semicolons after }'s:
public void method ()
for (...)
public void method () {
for (...) {
};I'd like to know how you usually format your code.
Additionally:
1) How old are you?
2) Where do you work/go to school?
3) What (if any) was your primary programming language
before Java?
4) How did you primarily learn how to program in Java
(book, school, examples, etc...)?
I'm just curious. I have some theories that I don't
want to share until I get a decent amount of replies.
Cheers,
Jason

Answer 1

I do it like this:
public void method ()
  for (...)
}I like to use white space very liberally. To find a matching brace just look straight up. I have enough hard drive space to handle an extra byte here and there. The semicolons are superfluous.
Age 26.
Went to University of Waterloo, I prefer to keep my employer private information.
I was writing code in Basic, Pascal, C, and VB before I started Java.
I learned the theoretical aspect of how to program in University.
I learned everything practical at work or on my own. I continue buying books and writing software on my own time to learn new things. I taught myself Java. Been a forum member since '97.
