Indentation is very important in promoting the readability of the code

Each logical block of code is indented: 

// Style 1    
if (x)
{
   statements;
}

                

// Style 2 (preferred)
if (x) {
   statements;
}

                

// Preferred else-if style
if (expression1) {
   statements1;
} else if (exp2) {
   statements2;
} else if (exp3) {
   statements3;
} else {
   statements4;
}
