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 most durable thing in writing is style, and style is the most valuable investment a writer can make with his time. It pays off slowly, your agent will sneer at it, your publisher will misunderstand it, and it will take people you have never heard of to convince them by slow degrees that the writer who puts his individual mark on the way he writes will always pay off.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
