But they do understand. Each in his own way.

I'm a rebel I use both ways and other ways.
If the 'if' condition is short I put it all line.
if it's a little longer maybe the line below
Readable is minor compared to the total lack of documentation people use
in their C and c++ programs.

Me too, that's how I code and how I code in POV too. I think it looks much
nicer spaced out like that, I think of the braces as a way to force a line
of white-space (apart from the brace character, obviously) above and below
blocks of code.

Oh.
I thought I said I'd check whether I'm available and get back to you?
[Which admittedly I never did...]
Turns out I had to move furnature around instead. Sorry about that...

Heh, that reminds me... Some guy actually wrote code like this:
if (DoNot == 0)
{
DoThis = true;
} else {
DoThis = false;
}
This was a few years back and on old university monitors, so he didn't
actually have much more than 10 commands TOTAL on screen at any given
time. How you keep an overview over the entire algorithm in that manner
is lost on me, and obviously on him, too: he didn't get his code working
in three weeks.
Regards,
Tim

Somehow those variables remind me of what I've decided I'll do at work
some day, when I'll have a place where it fits:

try_harder();

I'd say that there is only a fairly weak correlation (positive or
negative) between compactness and readability.
x = 2*y*y*y - 3*a*b
is much more readable than
t1 = y*y
t2 = y*t1
t3 = 2*t2
t4 = a*b
t5 = 3*t4
t6 = t3-t5
despite being much more compact. Counter-examples in the opposite
direction are not hard to find either.
