Yes. It's pretty ridiculous, huh?

--- Code: ---int main() {
do_stuff();
self_destruct();
if (1 < 0) {
cry();
} else {
be_happy();
}

doesn't look better and saves lines as opposed to this disgusting waste of lines

--- Code: ---main()
{
(1 < 0) ? cry() : be_happy();
}
--- End code ---

The ternary operator.

--- Code: ---condition ? true expression : false expression;
--- End code ---

If you only need to do one thing in either case, it's much cleaner than having multiple lines for an if/else.

And in the debate on braces; braces deserve their own lines. SO much easier to read and manage code when the braces denote code blocks.

Headcrab Zombie:
When I first started programming i did braces on their own line simply because that's what the example code used. Now I continue doing it because it's a habit and I haven't cared enough to change.

These days I just use the automatic formatting that visual studio applies, it would be a pain to try to fight it. I'm sure it can be disabled, but I don't really care enough to bother.
