Lesser-known C coding styles

I shan&#x27;t be taking it up, but this semicolon-first style has merits.<p>The example looks perfectly readable to me. And it is probably makes it harder to miss semicolons, because all those for one block line up in a single column. The main thing I fear is it increases the chance of an accidental:<p><pre><code> if(foo) ; do_something_i_though_was_conditional() </code></pre> But if you are already using braces everywhere, {then this isn&#x27;t a problem}.

I&#x27;m partial to the lisp style:<p>#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;<p>int loop(int i){ return ((i==0) ?0 :(printf(&quot;%d\n&quot;,i),loop(i-1)));}<p>int main (void){ return loop(10);}
