Putting brackets in a clearer position

Question

Is there a reason for everyone to code using the brackets isolated in different lines? I find them so much easier to be visualized if written as follows. is it not a good practice?

public class Program
{public static void main(String[] args)
{int age = 25;
if(age <= 0)
{System.out.println("Error");}
else
{System.out.println("Really?");}}}

Answer 1

Well… I do it to keep my code clear/readable… maybe that's the reason?…

Answer 2

the usual practices are either
function(){
indented code here
}

or
function()
{
indented code here
}

Answer 3

Adopting a layout consistent throughout all project files (and preferably supported be editors automatic layout) facilitates reviews and so avoid some errors.

Answer 4

I have always wondered why this:
function(){

}

when this is so much more symmetrical:
function()
{
}

Answer 5

There's lots of indent styles, and yours is actually LISP-style! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style#Lisp_style

But yeah nobody does it that way outside of LISP so I wouldn't do it unless you want to be beaten up by other programmers.
