Coding Standards

1. 4 spaces, no tabs
2. Use C style /* */ comments and be sure to comment your code
3. When defining a function, use the format of:

   /**
    * \brief One liner about this function
    *
    * More details here.  Use as many lines as you'd like
    */
   int
   main(int argc, char *argv[])
   {
       /* stuff goes here */
   }
   

4. Loops and control statements should be in the format of:

   while (i > 100) {
       /* stuff goes here */
   }
   
   if ((i == 0) && (j > 100)) {
       /* stuff */
   } 
   /* you can put a comment here if you'd like */
   else if ((i == 0) && (j <= 100)) {
       /* other stuff */
   } else {
       /* this is fine too */
   }
