multiple declaration statements

[Tim923]

I developed a habit of using multiple declaration statements without
being aware of it, maybe from Pascal. Is that style no longer taught
or used?

decimal decTotalCost = 0M, decTotalDiscount = 0M,
decTotalExtendedPrice = 0M;

or

decimal decTotalCost = 0M;
decimal decTotalDiscount = 0M;
decimal decTotalExtendedPrice = 0M;

The latter is clearer, IMO, and certainly allows for simpler
documentation. (I wouldn't use the Hungarian notation though.)
