When they say "uncuddled else" are they meaning:

if () {
# code
}
else {
# code
}

[Tim Johnson]

I would guess either that or

if()
{
#code
}
else
{
#more code
}

which I have seen, usually by people who primarily code in C.

A cuddled else is:

if (...) {
...
} else {
...
}

Anything other than THAT is an uncuddled else.

Got it. Thanks!

I like cuddled else's. It visually links the logic of the else block to the preceding if statement... while saving vertical space. I think this is an area where it's a matter of preference. Although some people claim that "Larry Wall" likes his else's uncuddled, I doubt, very much, if he gives a ##$@.
