help with Indentation

[hard dove]

I'm learning how to code in java but i dont fully understand the whole indentation thing.
The exercise im doing says
"Line 16: '}' should be on the same line.
Line 20: '}' should be on the same line."

if anyone could explain what im not understanding that would be appreciated

ould be on the same line.

Indentation is important in programming because it helps make your code more readable and organized. In Java, indentation is typically done using spaces or tabs to create a visual hierarchy of your code.

In this case, the error message is telling you that the closing curly braces '}' should be on the same line as the code block they are closing. For example:

if (condition) {
    // code block
}

In this example, the closing curly brace '}' is on the same line as the code block it is closing (the if statement).

Make sure to check your code for proper indentation and ensure that all opening and closing curly braces are on the same line as their respective code blocks. This will help improve the readability of your code and make it easier to debug any errors.

indentation is used to make your code more presentable and easier to understand

looks fine to me

my guess is that it wants

if (...) {

}
else {

}

or

if (...) {

} else {

}

and not

if (...) {

}

else {

}

this is just whatever autochecker you are going against

[hard dove]

so there's nothing actually "wrong" with how i did it. its just the auto checker wanting me to do it EXACATLY how they want?

[north raft]

probably

[hard dove]

ah okay, thank you so much i was sitting here confused wondering what i did wrong😅

[north raft]

I would check this style first to see if it works

[silent galleon]

Java isn't yaml, the indentation doesn't matter. In this case it's just a checkstyle rule to learn you a certain convention.

[hard dove]

they wanted me to do it in this stlye it looks like. thank you all for the help. 🫶

[gritty sequoia]

just as a little bit of motivation: the reason a lot of people are militant about styleguides is that people like this exist
