Seems like an exaggerated straw man. I don't see how anyone could reasonably stretch a one-liner into 6. But yeah - "dense" is an adjective that I try to avoid

Seems like an exaggerated straw man. I don't see how anyone could reasonably stretch a one-liner into 6. But yeah - "dense" is an adjective that I try to avoid when coding. Code should be clean, simple, and easy to read.

if (test) { body; } if (... So, 5 lines each. Not 6. I miscounted. if (test1) body1; if (test2) body2; if (test3) body3; if (test4) body4; if (test5) body2; Between the two formats, I greatly prefer the second. It is understandable at a glance and makes the possible error in the last line stand out much more. In practice, I usually encounter the first style -even in cases as trivial as single-function-call-per-if.
