[REBOL] Re: source code layout question

From: al:bri:xtra at: 5-Jan-2002 6:10

Hi, Joel. I prefer: Foo: func [ "Computes a Euclid string for numeric data." X [integer!] "Major argument." Y [integer!] "Corporal argument." Z [integer!] "Seed string, modified by evaluation." ][ either X = 0 [ Z ][ either Y = 0 [ head reverse Z ][ while [X < Y][ Y: Y - X append Z "x" ] foo Y X Z ] ] ] Why? * Title and Upper case for important words helps emphasize that these words are defined here. * Leading opening square bracket "[" allows cutting and pasting into Rebol console. * Block contents and trailing closing square bracket "]" all indented to same level to visually confirm nesting. * "][" for 'either provides visual cue for alternative case for 'either and continued blocks for functions. * For comments: Full stops inserted to make better sentences, along with initial capital.
