int main(){
       //code here
       if(2+2 == 4){ 
               printf("mooraidians rocks\n");
       }
       else {
       //more code
       }
      //even more code
      return 0;
}


The more I nest code, the deeper the indentations go... at least until a certain point (I have never reached this point yet).

Nesting becomes useful as a (very very limited) replacement for hyperthreading in some areas. Using do while loops for this is possible, although it slows down code immensely probably increases memory consumption (never checked), is less efficient, and less powerful as hyperthreading, but is still a viable option for some applications.

I've used such nesting for taking input before, and also for analyzing events.

Last view: 3935 days 		I put my openbraces on the same line as the function that needs the openbrace.

void burp() {
}

struct burp {
};

if (burp) {
} else {
}

for (int burp = blah; burp < infinite; burp++) {
}

I always prefered that over putting the openbraces on the next line. I'm not quite sure why.

I use four spaces, because that's the netbeans formatting default. Sometimes I do what Drag explain.

Sometimes I also put stuff on single line, such as.
if(true)runThisMethod();

Although I only do it if the line won't get too long.

In assembly, I just do a single tab. Heh. I rarely program in assembly though.

Last view: 6144 days 		Yeah, when I was learning C, EVERY book I saw used Allman style:

int main()
{
printf("Hello world");
}

so I just got used to that style, and I think K&R style (with the left curly bracket at the end of the previous line but the right curly bracket on its own line) looks so...wrong. And unbalanced. I have a much harder time reading K&R-formatted code for some reason.

Also, I tend to omit the curly brackets if there's only one statement.

For single statements, I usually do
if(foo) bar();
The only exception to that is when I need MSVC++' line-based debugger to distinguish between failure in evaluating foo and bar. In that case, I do
if(foo)
    bar();

Also, I think
{
    foo
}
else {
    bar
}
or even
{
    foo
}else{
    bar
}
is much friendlier to read than
{
    foo
}
else
{
    bar
}

<code> isn't a tag at all afaik. You probably meant <pre> (as in PREformatted), but that would yield doubled line breaks with Acmlmboard...

I should port my 
...
tag to Acmlmboard2.

Google says it does.
also, see w3c

Also, I like to use 4 spaces for indent for pretty much the same reasons as the OP.

Last view: 3226 days 		I used <pre>, but first I replaced every newline with a <br> tag. When the board adds the <br> tags, it leaves the newlines in place, causing <pre> to double space the text. Actually, it might just be converting half of a CRLF to a <br> tag and leaving the other half.

Opening brackets? They get a line to themselves.

Last view: 6075 days 		GNU '2+2' style is what I'm most used to. 4 spaces for each level of indentation, with the braces halfway. Braces are always present and on their own line, even if I could get by without them. I seem to be one of about six people who do it this way. 

if(x == 1)
  {
    do_stuff();
  }
else
  {
    /* other stuff */
  }


I'm mostly not picky about style, though. The only time I'll spend any effort to change a default indent style is if it's K&R. I just can't read that kind of code quickly, even if I wrote it.

for (int burp = blah; burp < infinite; burp++) {
}

I know alot of people do that, but I think it really hurts the readability.

for (int bitch=whore;bitch{
....//doshit
}

seems so much easier to read for me.

For some reason, I never really cared. But nowadays I do stuff on acmlmboards so I try to not code like that, so everyone can understand and stuff.

The first thing I use is whatever the existing code I'm working with is using.

If it's my own stuff, and I'm using a halfway decent editor, I use whatever the tab size is.
If I'm not using a halfway decent editor, I use two spaces.

If I can actually be bothered to change the tab size of my editor, my preference depends on the language. Generally, 4 spaces is always cool with me. I prefer 2 spaces slightly above that for most languages, but when I'm doing assembly code I prefer 8 spaces.

I always do the separate line for the curly braces, even if that clashes with existing code. I will change people's existing code to do that if they try to make me debug code with the trailing brace. I cannot read trailing brace code.
