The structure is:
if (expression)
statement;
statement consists of two statements foo(i) and bar(i) in this case.
So, it becomes:
if (expression)
compound-statement
The compound-statement must be surrounded with brackets to make it work.
I line them up with the statements within the compound-statement
because the brackets are part of the compound-statement. (Old Pascal
thinking showing through, but it still works in C).
Yields:
if (expression)
{
statement1;
statement2;
}
Completely logical!
Stephen.
