back on the original topic... kinda... did anyone else notice the horrible formating in the original code?! Seems to me that the first thing people should be taught is how to write readable code.

Im just getting used to indenting myself. Since turing had a built in indentation [F2] I rarely did it myself.

Are there any text editors with a C/C++/C# Indentation in them, that you know of?

Almost certainly, but get used to doing it yourself.

Please do. For me, one of the most important things about coding is indenting well. On your own.

If you wish to not follow my advice, I don't see how you could have a hard time looking, I haven't seen an editor that doesn't have auto-indent.

The only auto-indentation I use is the ones where each new line has the same number of blank spaces before the first character as the line before. It's really handy as even though I keep track of my own indentation putting 8 or 12 spaces at the front of each line slows typing quite a bit...

So only use 3 or 4 spaces as your unit of indentation.

If only they made a convention, using tab would be a lot easier .

4 is my unit, however there are times when I get to 3 levels of indentation, and occasionally even 4. 3*4 is 12 Also many editors can be set up to replace tabs with a set number of spaces... and if they can't it's not hard to write a short program to change it all over for you...

Excellent. I was worried you meant you used 8 or even twelve spaces for one unit of indentation. I've encountered this before.

Try viewing that code in an 80x25 console.
