Indentation

Indentation is also very important to writing clear code. The easiest rule to remember is that any new set of brackets should add a level of indentation for the code contained within it. This holds for functions, loops, and conditionals. The following is an example:

int foofunction(int x)
{

   int y = 0;

   if(x <= 0)
   {
      do some stuff;
   }
   else
   {
      for(y=0; y<x; y++)
      {
         do lots of stuff;
      }
   }

   return(0);
}
