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

I prefer a modification of sample 2:

bool MyApplication::ReportGenerator::GenerateReport()
{
    bool returnValue = false;
    if (isAdmin() &&
        isConditionOne() &&
        isConditionTwo() &&
        isConditionThree())
    { 
        returnValue = generateReport();
    } 
    return returnValue;
}

It has the benefit of having a single exit point for the function, which is recommended for easier maintenance. I find stacking conditions vertically instead of horizontally easier to read quickly, and it's a lot easier to comment individual conditions if you need to.
