I am learning C by the LPE Programming in C book by Stephen Kochan. There are some confusing things in the sample programs. For instance, somewhere, with the for statement, braces have been used like this: Code: for ( conditions ) { expressions; } While somewhere, they are not: Code: for ( conditions ) expressions; Where to use them and where not?
If one statement in the loops / conditional statement then it does not matter u are putiing braces or not. But strong recommendation is that put braces like this while(conditions) { expression ; } In all excellent industries recommend this. Use of it is that No Confusion( If big and too much complex single expression) and easy to see the values by debugging) Example: while(condition) AgprsLink_mp = (AgprsMotLink *) ( InputDataSubLink) *Function(agprs_val, pVal_m, (PcmLinkDataRes_m *)( nData), (PacketFormet_m* ) (nLink) ); this is simple case, I did'nt remember, I saw manyplace too much complex sinlgle expression and it will be confusion. So better use braces for any loop with a single or more than one statements.
