  • Abstract
    This paper presents a elytS edoC - a software used in writing source codes. The code´s style encompasses formatting, things like indentation and spacing, commenting, program element order and identifier names. Although most style choices won´t affect the compiled code or the program´s run time behavior, style is a key aspect of the code´s maintainability. And be cause we write code once, but over its life, we read it many times, it pays to keep the code in style that´s easy to analyze, compehend, review, test and change.
