all the textbooks these days do:

    void foo
    {
            ...
    }

But ... that's a function definition.  That's DIFFERENT.

As we say here, a lot of times CONSISTANCY is more important that what's
BEST.  (especially since "what's best" can be the subject of long and
pointless debates, while anyone can recognize lack of consistancy.)

int foo(int, char);              prototype

int                              function type on separate line to cater
                                 to certain editor tag functions.  I think.
foo (int a, char *)              space after function name here to make
                                 searching for the actual function def
                                 easier.  Spaces between arguments
{
    while (foo == bar) {        space after while, space before brace
        if (test(foo-bar)) {
            code...
        } else {                "cuddle" else and braces.
            code...
        }
    }
}


(Hmm.  No one does "}}}" any more, right?  I've only seen that in lisp,
where you pretty much HAVE to...)

Our biggest and hottest debate is usually on whether you can use a mixture
of tabs and spaces for indentation, or only spaces...
