K&R style
kernel style

    An ugly, obsolete, deprecated source code indent
   style that looks like this:

    if (cond) 
   	
    

   The basic indent is eight spaces (or one tab) per level; less
   commonly four.

   It is named after Kernighan & Ritchie because the examples in
   K&R are formatted this way.  It is also called "kernel style"
   (because the Unix kernel was written in it) or Egyptian
   brackets.

   This style was popular when programmers worked on small displays,
   or when printing code on paper, becuase it saves vertical space.
   It should be avoided because the opening brace is easy to miss at
   the end of a long condition in an "if" or "while" statement and it
   makes it hard to pair up braces.
