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); } }Read more about this topic: Indent Style
Famous quotes containing the word style:
“We are often struck by the force and precision of style to which hard-working men, unpracticed in writing, easily attain when required to make the effort. As if plainness and vigor and sincerity, the ornaments of style, were better learned on the farm and in the workshop than in the schools. The sentences written by such rude hands are nervous and tough, like hardened thongs, the sinews of the deer, or the roots of the pine.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
