PS: Coding Style

Description:

When it comes to Powershell, there are two main styles that people will follow (actually three, but the third is just like one of them):

To Resolve:

1. Styles:

   • OTBS

   function Get-Noun {
      end {
         if($Wide) {
               Get-Command | Sort-Object Noun -Unique | Format-Wide Noun
         } else {
               Get-Command | Sort-Object Noun -Unique | Select-Object -Expand Noun
         }
      }
   }
   

   • Stroustup: Same as OTBS but will place “else” in a new line.

   • Allman

   function Get-Noun
   {
      end
      {
         if($Wide)
         {
               Get-Command | Sort-Object Noun -Unique | Format-Wide Noun
         }
         else
         {
               Get-Command | Sort-Object Noun -Unique | Select-Object -Expand Noun
         }
      }
   }
