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 difference between style and taste is never easy to define, but style tends to be centered on the social, and taste upon the individual. Style then works along axes of similarity to identify group membership, to relate to the social order; taste works within style to differentiate and construct the individual. Style speaks about social factors such as class, age, and other more flexible, less definable social formations; taste talks of the individual inflection of the social.”
    —John Fiske (b. 1939)
