K&R style

K&R style, named after programmers Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, is a way of formatting code, especially in C programming. It emphasizes compactness and readability by placing opening braces on the same line as the related statement or declaration, and using consistent indentation for blocks of code. This style helps programmers quickly understand code structure at a glance, making it easier to read and maintain. It’s a widely adopted convention that balances clarity with conciseness.
