Yes seriously, there are people who write software computers, and do
not know C.

The reason to a style guide is not that one style is inherently
better than another. It is because consistency makes the code
easier to read for anyone familiar with that style. Part of that
means using common idioms that are immediately recognizable by
someone familiar with the style. This redu

/* note the () around & are for ==, not ?: */
int main() { return ('K'&'R') == 'B' ? 0 : 1; }
it seems a lot of people are having difficulty with my ?: expression.
rather than going through each branch yourself, think of it like a
`boolean' switch that stops on the first `true' question (the bit on
each line before the ?), and then chooses the corresponding `answer'
(the bit before the :).
Saying a code is horrible, is often subjective. If you work on your own
project, choose the style that fits your mind. If you are patching a program,
try to be consistent with the existing code.
You can also have a look at the “style” manpage but keep in mind that it is for
the kernel.

you can use a formatter such use astyle or clang-format

Yes, two comments
1. Read more / write less
2. Sharp deviations from widely-accepted style, such as multiply-nested
ternaries, make it harder for others to play in your codebase, with zero

gday folks.
first i will say i am do not consider myself well versed in machine
languages. i have use plain tex for a while, and i use the odd bit of
sh, sed, etc. i recently read K&R because sh disgusts me. i have seen
a bit of some programming languages, but nothing very recent, and i
