Write a program that adds or removes whitespace to format code nicely. Rules for what the code should look like when you're done:
No line should contain more than one of { and }.
A { should always be the last thing on a line.
A } should always be the only thing on a line (besides whitespace tha...
@tbodt I know, I added it because of this: shouldn't the last semicolon go on its own line, since } can be the only char on a line? (for the expected output for that test case)
Can \\ appear in strings and if so how should it be treated? In particular, your current specification implies that the second " in "test\\" doesn't actually terminate the string.
Also, if /* */ can be nested (which I don't think they can in most C-family languages), you should include such a test case. You'll also want test cases with both types of comments in side strings or inside one another (in particular a line ending with // /* would be interesting).
@Rod I don't think it's a dupe, that's a pop-con whose goal is "make the code look as pretty as possible", while this is "follow these prettifying rules in the shortest code possible".
The indentation is how the programmer see the code, how to evidence the repetitions and the redundancy using spaces; it is not the work of the indentation program (the algorithm it is too much complex)
I do not agree on "•No line should contain more than one of { and }." I would say if the line length is not too much long it would be allowed (as for(i=0;i<n;++i){a[i]=i; b[i]=i+3;})...
