Indentation style

In computer programming, indentation style is a convention or style, governing the indentation of lines of source code. An indentation style generally specifies a consistent number of whitespace characters before each line of a block, so that the lines of code appear to be related, and dictates whether to use spaces or tabs as the indentation character.
