Coding Standards / Coding Best practices in C++

Question

Consider the two code segments below. Which one is better and Why? If you have any other idea, please do mention. Where can I find answers to coding p

Answer 1

It really depends on the future expectations of the code. Code1 above implies that there may be additional logic to be added for each of the conditions; Code2 above implies rather that there is a rational grouping of the conditionals. Code1 may be more relevant if you expect to add logic for the conditions at a later date; if you don't, though, Code2 is probably more sensible because of the brevity and implied grouping.
