White space convention for C

[sharp elm]

Should I do c=0 or c = 0? I think i've seen the former more.

what does the C standard say?

or is there any other standard (like google) that I can refer to

just want to stick to convention

[twin plover]

these are stylistic choices, afaik no comments are made in the standard

use a style you like, if you're working on another codebase then use thei rstyle

to make life easier, use a formatter like clang-format

[timid mason]

they mean the same thing and both are acceptable, although all the code examples in the standard consistently use spaces like c = 0

i wouldn't do c=0 for variables with a name longer than 1 letter

Use spacing to improve the readability of the code. For simple initialization, it doesn't matter. You can prefer anything.

c = 0; better readability of symbols. don't be shy about using lots of whitespace... use as much as you want.
