Also since I am using this style, XCode doesn't tab in for me when

during the summer.
I learned C on Unix long before Microsoft had started producing
Windows 1.0. The first style was the first style I learned. I
believe it's called the K&R style (from the inventors of C) and it
also seems to be the preferred style in Java if you look in Sun's
Java documentation. When I then learned C++ back in 1988 (from
Bjarne Stroustrup, nonetheless), the K&R style was still the style
being used.
The first time I came across the latter style was when I had to
work on some Windows C and C++ style. I believe the style was more
or less invented by Microsoft. Most of the Unix/Linux/Cocoa code
I've worked on has used the K&R style.
I got the impression that the latter style was rooted from Pascal (or
even Algo) programmers where they usually place the "begin" and "end"
on separate lines.
