Document Summary

Broadly speaking, there are three different kinds of lines" of code that you can write: code that defines where a block {starts and ends}. These either end with an open curly bracket, or the whole line is a single close curly bracket: a line of code that does something. These are statements and end with a semi-colon: a comment. A multiline comment starts with /* and ends with */ In order to make your code more readable, there are rules about when to have new lines, and how to indent things. When you have an open curly bracket, a close curly bracket, or a statement ending in a semi- colon, you should press enter and continue writing on a new line (there are a few exceptions to this rule). When you start a new block (have an open curly bracket), all subsequent lines should be indented (tabbed).
