Hi,
I indent my code because I work with sighted people, and I like to see it in
Braille because it helps my mind chunk the logic of my programs. I indent two
or four spaces. I put the opening left brace on the same line with the control
statement or function. I double space between statement chunks and the right
braces that end functions. I use a special JAWS indentation scheme that plays
piano notes for indentation levels at 2 spaces for up to 8 indentation levels
just in case I need them. I don't so far use a program to clean up my indents.
Maybe I'd be more efficient if I did, but, as I said, I like to feel the
indentation on my Braille display and hear those notes.
It's probably my learning style, but I have a lot of trouble understanding code
when more than one variable is initialized on one line and when people put
their if, then, else statements on one line. I like to press a navigation key
and here one chunk of data.
Thanks.
Jim

Subject: Indentation of code
Hi all:
I'm just wondering how you folks indent your code?
Do you use indentation at all?
I know that indentation is not required for C#, but sighted folks prefer it.
Currently I don't have any code to share between sighted and blind
programmers.
I've just started learning to program and I use C#.
I'm just curious and would like some pointers.
I'm just trying to develop a good habit of how my code should look like.
