Maintain consistent indentation and brace alignment throughout the codebase to improve readability and code organization. Use 4-space indentation consistently across all files and align closing braces with their corresponding opening statements. Key formatting requirements: - Use 4 spaces for indentation (no tabs) - Align closing braces with the statement that opened the block - Maintain consistent spacing around operators and control structures - Ensure all code blocks follow the same alignment patterns Example of proper formatting: ```c while(pos[i] !='\0'){ if(k==arr->cap){ *p = i+1; return ERR_RECURSE_MAX; } while(is_space(pos[i])){ i++; } } ``` Consistent formatting makes code easier to read, debug, and maintain. It also helps team members quickly understand code structure and reduces cognitive load when reviewing or modifying code.
