The purpose behind coding styles is to make the code easy to read.
Melchior wasn't talking about anything specific, just the general
rules that all styles adhere to.

Most important in this case is indentation, your submitted file had
none.  Code in all modern programming languages has a recursive
structure; some code blocks live "inside" other code blocks.  It is a
long-standing tradition that this structure be reflected in the
indentation of each line of code:

   + "Inner" structures should have more whitespace at the beginning of
     the line than their enclosing blocks.

   + Lines that are "siblings" in the structure of the file should have
     exactly the same amount of whitespace.

If you follow no other rule, follow this one.  It's common to every
sane programming style out there.
