indentation

When a case class has many fields and their names are long, it is often a good idea to write each field in each line like: case class Person ( name: String, age: Int ) This resembles C/C++ struct definition and totally readable even when the case class becomes bigger. But IntelliJ IDEA's default Scala plugin automatically changes its indentation: case class Person ( name: String, age: Int ) which looks weird to me, but the Scala Style Guide doesn't mention anything about case class indentation. I couldn't find anything in the IDE settings that can change this behaviour. Is there an option to

I thought everything was properly indented here but I am getting an IndentationError: expected an indented block at the else: statement. Am I making an obvious mistake here? def anti_vowel(text): new_string = "" vowels = "aeiou" for letter in text: for vowel in vowels: if (lower(letter) == vowel): #do nothing else: #append letter to the new string new_string += letter return new_string Cilyan Do nothing translates to using the pass keyword to fill an otherwise empty block (which is not allowed). See the official documentation for more information. def anti_vowel(text): new_string = "" vowels =

I am fairly new to use Fortran preprocessing statement and have a question which is probably pretty native. Can Fortran preprocessing statement be indented? I tested using Gfortran 4.8.1 on Linux (openSUSE Leap) and it turned out I it can not be indented at all. The following code main.f90 works with gfortran -cpp main.f90 -o main : program main implicit none #ifdef DEBUG print *, "I am in debug mode" #endif print *, "hello world!" end program main But the following throws an error: program main implicit none #ifdef DEBUG print *, "I am in debug mode" #endif print *, "hello world!" end program

// K&R syntax int foo(a, p) int a; char *p; { return 0; } // ANSI syntax int foo(int a, char *p) { return 0; } As you see, in K&R style, the types of variables are declared in new lines instead of in the braces. How to convert a K&R function declaration to an ANSI function declaration automatically? Does anybody know such an easy-to-use tool in Linux? You can use cproto or protoize (part of GCC) to generate function prototypes or convert old style (K&R) functions to ANSI format. Since You wanna convert a multiline string, you chould consider perl you have void old_style( c , a ) char c; int a;

I can't understand why python gives an "Expected indentation block" error? """ This module prints all the items within a list""" def print_lol(the_list): """ The following for loop iterates over every item in the list and checks whether the list item is another list or not. in case the list item is another list it recalls the function else it prints the ist item""" for each_item in the_list: if isinstance(each_item, list): print_lol(each_item) else: print(each_item) You have to indent the docstring after the function definition there (line 3, 4): def print_lol(the_list): """this doesn't works"

The runtime keeps telling me: expected an indented block But I don't want write nothing inside my except block, I just want it to catch and swallow the exception. Just write pass as in try: # Do something illegal. ... except: # Pretend nothing happened. pass EDIT: @swillden brings up a good point, viz., this is a terrible idea in general. You should, at the least, say except TypeError, DivideByZeroError: or whatever kinds of errors you want to handle. Otherwise you can mask bigger problems. I've never done this in more permanent code, but I frequently do it as a placeholder if some_expression:

I am using Visual Studio 2015 and ReSharper 2016.2 and I have this strange behavior, that I probably activated (accidentally). When having the cursor in a line before the first word, hitting the Tab-key indents the line correctly: When the cursor is inside of any word inside the line, hitting the Tab-key selects the word or block. But the desired behavior would be to indent at the cursor (e.g. split a word into two words, if the cursor was inside of the word Stream after the letter r): Does anyone know how this 'feature' is called? Does it come from ReSharper? Where can it be enabled or
