Coding Style

When a coder creates something new, mostly that is with his/her own style. This makes them artists in a way I believe :)
While it is nice to develop a specific style, writing things on a certain way can be very important to understand better what is written.


This example shows a style, while it is possibly nice to see, is very hard to decipher...




Here is the same code, written in a different way, making it easier to read.

indicator("ConeCode-Linefill,educational", max_lines_count=500, overlay=true)color1 = input.color(color.new(color.blue    , 35), 'color 1')color2 = input.color(color.new(color.lime    , 35), 'color 2')color3 = input.color(color.new(color.red     , 35), 'color 3')iFill  = input.bool (true,'fill')s1     = ta.sma (close, 1000)s2     = ta.sma (close,  200)l1     = plot  (s1    , 'l1')l2     = plot  (s2    , 'l2')topVal = s1   > s2    ? math.min(s1, s2)     : math.max(s1, s2)botVal = s1   > s2    ? math.max(s1, s2)     : math.min(s1, s2)topCl  = iFill        ? s1 > s2 ? color3     : color1     : nabotCl  = iFill        ? s1 > s2 ? color1     : color2     : nafill(l1, l2, topVal, botVal, topCl, botCl)
