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

I know this is an old question, but I tripped over it doing a search for something else, and had an observation: look at the existing answers. They're generally short, yet they contain blank lines.

That's what paragraphs are. As in writing, lines are a quick, visual way to separate concepts. It doesn't mean each paragraph above should be broken into a separate answer; it doesn't mean each code "paragraph" should be broken into a separate method.

It's a silly complaint. If it were still possible to talk to that professor, I'd explain what "wall of text" means.
