title: What is the best approach when it comes to forming a method?
body: <p>I apologise for the bad title. This is what I'm curious about:</p>
  
  <p>Is it better or worse to do the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public DPRFileContent(IDPRFile dprFile) {
  
      if (dprFile == null) {
          throw new Exception("DPR file parameter can not be null. Method[DPRFileContent]");
      }
  
      this.dprFile = dprFile;
      getFileContent();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>OR</p>
  
  <pre><code>public DPRFileContent(IDPRFile dprFile) {
  
      if (dprFile == null) {
          throw new Exception("DPR file parameter can not be null. Method[DPRFileContent]");
      } else {
  
          this.dprFile = dprFile;
          getFileContent();
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It may be down to just the coding style that one prefers but as I'm a pretty amateur programmer I'm really interested in what more experienced programmers would prefer.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
