Naming and layout suggestions
NL.4
Maintain a consistent indentation style
Reason
Readability. Avoidance of "silly mistakes."
Example, bad
int i;
for (i = 0; i < max; ++i); // bug waiting to happen
if (i == j)
return i;
Note
Always indenting the statement after if (...), for (...), and while (...) is usually a good idea:
if (i < 0) error("negative argument");
if (i < 0)
error("negative argument");
Enforcement
Use a tool.
