What are the reasons for the various shapes of braces?

Question

I read the Zend Framework coding standards , where they indicate that curly braces after class definitions should be on the next line, "one true curly brace form."

class MyClass
{
    function....
}

I usually have brackets on one line:

class OtherClass {
    function ...
}

What is the reason for placing brackets on the next line? Or use any other style, for that matter?

Answer 1

Personal preference is really a real "reason."

Answer 9

It doesn't matter what style you use? No. Does it matter that everyone working on the same project or source file uses the same brace style? No; not only does it not matter, but it is useful if the styles of the brackets differ from one encoder to another, even in the same file.
