K&R style (coding style)

K&R style, named after Kernighan and Ritchie, is a way of formatting computer code to improve readability. It primarily involves how brackets and indentation are used to show the structure of the code. In K&R style, opening braces `{` are placed at the end of the line that begins the control statement or function, rather than on a new line. Inside blocks, code is indented consistently, making it clear which parts belong together. This style helps programmers quickly understand code flow and organization, making collaboration and maintenance easier. It is one of the most widely adopted conventions in C programming.
