I haven't written code for plan9, so this is my own taste about plan9 coding style. for ( i=0; i < nrows; i++); or for (i=firstrow; i <= lastrow; i++); "i" is only an iterator variable, as used in the sigma notation for summation. What has meaning to me is the condition or initialization variable (nrows, firstrow, lastrow...) > (2) In functions, variables are often declared together in one > paragraph, and then, later, initialized in another paragraph, as in: > > int i; > char *s; > > /* stuff */ > > i = 0; > s = nil; This style looks standard.
