4.4 Class and Interface Declarations

When coding Java classes and interfaces, the following formatting rules should be followed:

• No space between a method name and the parenthesis "(" starting its parameter list
• Open brace "{" appears at the end of the same line as the declaration statement
• Closing brace "}" starts a line by itself indented to match its corresponding opening statement, except when it is a null statement the "}" should appear immediately after the "{"

class Sample extends Object {

    int ivar1;

    int ivar2;



    Sample(int i, int j) {

        ivar1 = i;

        ivar2 = j;

    }



    int emptyMethod() {}



    ...

}

• Methods are separated by a blank line
