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

Which on do you think best expresses what the code is trying to say. Which one do you need to work hardest to understand?

I would do this:

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

}

Because:

a). Prefer to say what I want rather than what I don't want b). prefer symmetry, if and else. Clearly all cases covered.
