Indent Style - Lisp Style

Lisp Style

A programmer may even go as far as to insert closing brackets in the last line of a block. This style makes indentation the only way of distinguishing blocks of code, but has the advantage of containing no uninformative lines. This could easily be called the Lisp style (because this style is very common in Lisp code) or the Python style (Python has no brackets, but the layout looks very similar, as evidenced by the following two code blocks).

// In C for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { if (i % 2 == 0) { doSomething (i); } else { doSomethingElse (i); } }

# In Python for i in range(10): if i % 2 == 0: doSomething(i) else: doSomethingElse(i)

;; In Lisp (dotimes (i 10) (if (evenp i) (do-something i) (do-something-else i)))
