What is the proper way to format code?

Question

When I write code, I try to group lines of similar code together, then leave a blank line and write another block.

I believe this contributes to the neatness and readabi

Answer 1

Spaces help to make your code more readable and I think the consensus here is that they are not for the most part a bad idea. But nobody seems to have pointed out that along with the blank line a comment may not be amiss.

/* This section preps the widgets for display */
block 
of some 
code

/* This section passes the widgets to the display handler */
and 
so 
on

Remember most code will be read many times over it’s life so anything you can do to make life easier for future maintainers is a great plus.
