Hi,

• Where do you break long lines of code? (Example: before or after the operator)
• If it's a long string, do you split the string into substrings?
• What other cases are there when breaking long lines?

Answer 1

From a historical point of view, it was an old width of 80 columns due to screen size. However, since this is usually not always the case, I think it is not necessary to strictly follow this.

Answer 6

Since the modern IDE supports horizontal scrolling, I don't care how long the line itself is (unless my command does); just how easy it is to understand. But this rarely matters, because I break things down into lines or methods to make them easier to understand, so the length of each line automatically stays short.
