Reading code from top to bottom (1999)(iq0.com)

    if something:
        return something
    if something else:
        return something else
    return default

    if something:
        return something
    elif something else:
        return something else
    else:
        return default

    int f(int x){
        int v;

        if(b(x)) v=f1(x);
        else v=f2(x);
        return v;
    }

    int f(int x){
        int v;
    
        if(b(x)) {
            v=f1(x);
        }else{
            v=f2(x);
        }
        return v;
    }

    int f(int x){
        if(b(x)) return f1(x);
        return f2(x);
    }

    int f(int x){
        if(b(x))
            return f1(x);
        return f2(x);
    }

    int a(int i, int j){
        return i?a(i-1, j?a(i, j-1):1):j+1;
    }

    The language I'm testing is missing the ?: conditional expression, so I had to reword function a using ordinary if statements.

    int a(int i, int j){
        if(i==0) return j+1;
        if(j==0) return a(i-1, 1);
        return a(i-1, a(i, j-1));
    }

    Much better.
