Jane, The closing brace for the function goes at the left edge…as does the opening brace for the function. Other braces have the opening brace at the end of the line containing the for, while, switch, if, etc. statements. Closing braces go even with the start of the for, while, switch, if, etc. statement like this: |<—- presume this is the left edge of your screen my_funct(a,b,c) int a,b; char c; { /* opening brace of function */ /* local vars */ int counter; for (counter = a; counter < b ; counter++ ) { /* open for */ do_something(c); if (check_something(counter)) { /* open if */ foo(global_var); break; } /* close if */ do_some_more(); } /* close for */ } /* close function */ again…this is MY preference. You and others may not like it, and that's fine. The important thing is to select a style you are comfortable with, but once you find that style…keep it uniform. I noticed an earlier message from you where you saw mixed styles in one program. That's generally a bad coding practice…at least for me…it makes things very difficult to follow. Don
