    Default Java programing style

    Does each of these style have a name? I only know that the 2nd one is call " Top down" but no idea what the 1st and 3rd style call. Thanks

    public class HelloWorldV1
    {
    //main method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        System.out.println("Hello, Virtual World!");
        System.out.println("It is a great day for programming.");
    }
    }

    public class HelloWorldV2
    {
    //print two lines of text
    public static void printTwoLines( )
    {
         System.out.println("Hello, Virtual World!");
         System.out.println("It is a great day for programming.")
    }
    //main method
    public static void main(String [] args)
    {
         printTwoLines();
    }
    }

    public class HelloWorldV3
    {
    //default constructor
    HelloWorldV3()
    {
    }
    //print two lines of text
    public void printTwoLines( )
    {
         System.out.println("Hello, Virtual World!");
         System.out.println("It is a great day for programming.");
    }
    //main method
    public static void main(String [] args)
    {
         HelloWorldV3 hello = new HelloWorldV3( );
         hello.printTwoLines();
    }
    }

    Default Re: Java programing style

    One part of programming is properly formatting source code. None of the above sources are properly formatted. Nested statements should be indented to make for easier reading of the logic.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Default Re: Java programing style

    Its closer. There should only be two statements that start in the first column: first and last.
    There should never be two }s one directly above the other.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
