“Important” Questions

[raw] LD33LD #33 17. Aug 2015 · 12:57 UTC · 3 days before compo start by gingerBill · 3

This is not really that related to the competition but mainly a question of style. What do people prefer?

  • Tab vs Spaces vs Hybrid (tabs for indentation and spaces of alignment)
  • Indentation Width (2, 3, 4, 6, 8)
  • snake_case, camelCase, lowercase, etc.
  • If applicable, brace position: K&R, Linux, Allman, etc.

My personal opinions:

  • Hybrid (best of both worlds)
  • 4 or 8 or 2 (depends on the language)
  • camelCase or snake_case (depends on the language)
  • Allman mainly but trialling out Linux

* Spaces. Tabs get distorted when switching editors and sharing files. 😛

* Width of 4.

* camelCase though some files are named LikeThis.

* And i’m not familiar with the brace names…. but after a quick search: K&R. Definitely K&R. 😛

Depends. In my IDE I just hit tab. I actually don’t know the indetation width of it. In Sublime Text, I hybrid with tab (indents 8) and space three times.

Regarding 1. and 2. : I’ll let my IDE worry about it.
