I'm a little confused which brace style is better?
This one? 

if ( a > b)  
{  
    c = d;  
}

or this one? 

if ( a > b) {  
    c = d;  
}

I'm using the first one because I think it's easy to read, but I found it seems that many experts (or experience programmers) like to use the second style, the second one looks like more professional (isn't is?). I know both styles are OK, but in your opinion, which one is better for a programmer? Your reasons? Thank you a lot!

Do whatever is right for you, unless you program in a team. In that case, follow whatever coding style you all agree on.

I personally use the second one, bu most IDEs' auto-formatters will use the first one. But it's just so minor difference that... I doubt that somebody would actually care.
