End the holy war between space and tab indentation...
Indentation not Tabulation People(I) make mistakes often because they mixing the idea of indentation and tabulation.
This is indentation: indentation implies the levels of nested structures.
void f(){
while (1){
if (a == b){
printf("something");
}
}
}
This is tabulation: tabulation makes multiple lines aligned wrt. their contents.
int apple = 1;
int foo = 3;
int another_brick = 4;
int in_the_wall = 42;
End the war once and for all
- Indentation should always be TABs because one
is exactly one level of indentation. - Tabulation should always be SPACEs
