  Indent style - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This style is similar to the standard indentation used by the Pascal programming language and Transact-SQL, where the braces are equivalent to the "begin" and "end" keywords.
Advantages of this style are that the indented code is clearly set apart from the containing statement by lines that are almost completely whitespace, improving readability; the ending brace lines up in the same column as the beginning brace; and the braces are consistently at the beginning of their lines.
Furthermore, indenting the braces emphasizes the fact that they are not syntactically part of the 'while' statement, but rather the delineations of the subordinate compound statement.

 Eric Allman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eric Allman (born 1959) is a computer programmer who developed sendmail and its precursor delivermail in the late 1970s and early 1980s at UC Berkeley.
Born in El Cerrito, California, Allman knew from an early age that he wanted to deal with computing later in life, breaking into his high school's mainframe and later using the UC Berkeley computing center for his computing needs.
Allman is credited with popularizing the Allman indent style, also known as BSD indent style.

 Science Fair Projects - Indent style
Indent style describes how different programmers use braces to denote blocks of code, most commonly in the C programming language and its descendants, as well as other programming languages that allow indenting.
The advantages of this style are that the indented code is clearly set apart from the containing statement by lines that are almost completely whitespace; the braces line up with the statement they conceptually belong to; and the ending brace lines up with the beginning brace.
The GNU style is mixture of BSD and Whitesmiths, with the addition of making a space between the bracketed list of arguments to a function or a construct.

There are four major C indent styles, described below; all have the aim of making it easier for the reader to visually track the scope of control constructs.
Also called "kernel style" because the Unix kernel is written in it, and the "One True Brace Style" (abbreviation 1TBS) by its partisans.

Styles vary, but for this department, a particular style is encouraged and sometimes enforced.
A style checker is provided for you to check your Java or C programs, and may be used in marking your assignments.
This style is designed to help you with difficult bugs that the compiler doesn't spot, to help lab supervisors or markers to scan your code quickly, and to allow various tools to be used to view or manipulate or analyse or print your code without problems.

 A Word on Style   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Students, for their part, tend to ignore what style they are taught in favor of whatever seems convenient or appropriate to them at the time.
However tempting it may be to ignore style completely-or at least give it a tertiary role-it is vital that it be taught and enforced at the early stages of C++ education.
You may indent the single statement on the next line or place it on the same line as the control statement at your option.

 Style - clc-wiki
Style refers to the way that code is written, as opposed to what it does.
Some style issues border onto the realm of code and software design - for example: how the internationalisation of user-visible messages is to be achieved.
Choice of elements of style is often arbitrary, on the other hand there are also often good reasons to prefer one choice over another.

 Ailanto : The One True Brace Style
It is the One True Brace Style, logical and clear, and I found out later that it has a name: it is known as Whitesmiths Style, because it was the style used in examples that came with Whitesmiths C, an early commercial C compiler.
Indents are always four spaces per level, with the braces halfway between the outer and inner indent levels...
BSD Style, or Allman Style, pushes the braces further left, to the indentation level of the guard or controlling statement, and this is a Bad Thing, because it appears that the braces are part of the guard or controlling statement; they are not.

 One True Brace Style - One True Brace Style
The KandR style, so-called because it was used in Kernighan and Ritchie's book The C Programming Language, is the traditional choice for C. It is less common for Objective C, C++, Java, C#, and others.
Advocates of this style believe that the braces combine a series of declarations and statements into a single statement.
Setting a non-emacs editor up to assist with GNU style is often impossible, since simple auto-indent is relatively unhelpful with the two different indentation levels that are required.

Programming style or "coding conventions" as it is sometimes called is about how you code so that the code is easily readable and understandabale by a human.
Style two, called Allman or BSD style, avoids this problem (see below), since the blank line introduced by the opening brace sets conditional and dependent code apart.

Basic indent per level shown here is eight spaces, but four (or sometimes three) spaces are generally preferred by C++ and Java programmers.

 Java Technology Forums - Brace style should NOT be K & R
With allman you look from the open brace to the close brace, k&r you look from the opening line of code to the close brace.
Unlike the indent size, there are few technical reasons to choose one placement strategy over the other, but the preferred way, as shown to us by the prophets Kernighan and Ritchie, is to put the opening brace last on the line, and put the closing brace first, thusly:
And finally we come to the worst of the four major styles, the K&R Style, named after Kernighan and Ritchie, because the examples in The C Programming Language use it, and also called Kernel Style, because the Unix kernel is written in it.

If a comment is a phrase or sentence, its first word should be capitalized, unless it is an identifier that begins with a lower case letter (never alter the case of identifiers!), and it should end in a period.

Note that the indents are always four spaces per level, with the braces halfway between the outer and inner indent levels.
This is probably the most confusing style (it's hard to keep track of the braces properly), although it is used in many books (perhaps to reduce on the lines that the code takes up!).
