Does C# support if codeblocks without braces?

Question

How would C# compile this?

if (info == 8)     info = 4; otherStuff(); 

Would it include subsequent lines in the codeblock?

if (info == 8) {     info = 4;     otherStuff(); } 

Or would it take only the next line?

if (info == 8) {     info = 4; } otherStuff(); 

Answer 1

Yes, it supports it - but it takes the next statement, not the next line. So for example:

int a = 0; int b = 0; if (someCondition) a = 1; b = 1; int c = 2; 

is equivalent to:

int a = 0; int b = 0; if (someCondition) {     a = 1; } b = 1; int c = 2; 

Personally I always include braces around the bodies of if statements, and most coding conventions I've come across take the same approach.

Answer 2

if (info == 8) {     info = 4; } otherStuff();
