1507 :: Question about indentation of conditions

• yuutayamada (orginal) [2015-08-09T16:19:30+02:00] view original

  Hi, I have a question about number of indentation at following case:

  if condition part is multiple lines

  
  if longCondition and
     longCondition2:
    echo("↑ how many indent is preferable?")
  Run

  I'm thinking about sending PR to nim-mode (emacs' plugin), but I'm not sure how many indent is preferable.

  Although I wrote test code here, Is this indent style OK? I saw different indent style in nim's source code, so if there is preferable style, I would follow. (sorry my poor English)

  Thanks

  This is actually a very good question. I would usually indent things that way, or until it looks "right" and I always wonder whether my indentation is correct.

  This might have some insight, if it doesn't then it should specify what to do in this case: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/Style-Guide-for-Nim-Code

  @Araq thoughts?

  I usually use 4 spaces to indent these. The price is that it doesn't align with the if anymore then.

  Thanks @Araq and @dom96! I'll change if/when/while/elif's indentation to 4 spaces.
