The Importance of Style
Just like in writing, style makes a big difference in the clarity of your programming. Style is important because while computers run the programs, it’s people like you and me who read and maintain them. So the clearer we can make our code, the easier it’s going to be to modify, change, and support (not to mention contain fewer bugs).
