Style & Formatting Guidance

File Header
Use the template below to create a file header for each homework
submission. The Sources of Help section is required for all submissions.
Document any sources of help you received on the assignment.
[Sample] I discussed how to use scanf in a while loop with the tutor in
tutoring center / with Parker Porter who took this class last semester.
If you did not use any resources outside class and did not discuss solutions
with another student, use N/A.

Code Formatting Guidance


See the sample program below as a reference.

 Code must be correctly and consistently indented.


 The only code on the left column are: #include statements, #define
statements, function definitions and function closing braces.
o Example: lines 15, 43
 Variable declarations and executable statements in a function are
indented.
o Example: line 16 and following
 Indentation should be 4 spaces. Minimum acceptable is 2 spaces;
maximum 6. Do not use odd numbers of spaces.
 Each new block must be indented. Blocks include: if and else
statements, for loops, while loops, function bodies.
o Example: lines 26 - 36
 The opening brace for a new block must be at the end of the same
line as the defining keyword.
o Example: lines 25, 26
 The closing brace for a block is left-aligned with the defining
keyword.
o Example: lines 29, 37
 Spaces must be used to keep code readable. This includes spaces
following keywords (if, for, while, etc.) and around operators.
o Example: lines 16, 25, 26, 28
 There is no space between a function call and its argument list (e.g.
main, printf, scanf).
o Example: lines 15, 23, 25
 Comments for variables are placed to the right of the variable
declaration.
o Example: lines 16, 17
 Comments for code should be placed immediately above the line of
code being commented (not to the right).
o Example: lines 24, 35
