Marasco) says: deleted stuff Code style is usually a judgement call. I've had points taken off for writing code the same way as K&R did in their C manual. (Interesting attempt by grader to justify it :) ) BEGIN/END can be taken as: Code the same level as previous statements, enclosing code to be further indented Or The delimiters for indented code (indented like the code in between) For my classes, either one is okay. It's kind of like the argument for THEN on the same line as the IF or on the next line. (Which has proponents for both styles) IMHO the grader should give back the points, unless it was specifically stated that BEGIN/END pairs should be indented otherwise.
