Indent Style - Ratliff Style

Ratliff Style

In the book, "Programmers at Work", C. Wayne Ratliff discussed using the style below. The style begins much like 1TBS but then the closing brace lines up with the indentation of the nested block. Ratliff was the original programmer behind the popular dBase-II and dBase-III fourth-generation languages. He indicated that it was originally documented in material from Digital Research Inc.

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

Famous quotes containing the word style:

    The flattering, if arbitrary, label, First Lady of the Theatre, takes its toll. The demands are great, not only in energy but eventually in dramatic focus. It is difficult, if not impossible, for a star to occupy an inch of space without bursting seams, cramping everyone else’s style and unbalancing a play. No matter how self-effacing a famous player may be, he makes an entrance as a casual neighbor and the audience interest shifts to the house next door.
    Helen Hayes (1900–1993)
