I also prefer "return (a == b);" to a less-concise form. But that's not
what bugs me. What I'd like to know is, why did the authors of the
articles on the subject write "return( a == b );" as they did? In
English we don't( usually )use parentheses that way, and English is what
most of us are used to reading.
It seems commonsensical to me to use lexical forms when programming that
most approximate our natural language. Why do most programmers seem to
behave as if they disagreed? (See my recent flames about quoting and
commenting styles...)
