- I find it sourly this code was on a thread named "Teaching the
- basics", since the author obviously hasn't even learned the basics of
- readable code formatting.
-
- Learn to use indent, or Emacs C-mode.
-
- Code formatting is irrelevant, because programs like indent let you
- format the code anyway you like.
-
- It's amazing to me that universities waste so much time and effort
- teaching people how to format code.
