The goal of indentation is to make it easier for programmers to recognize blocks of code contained within a structure. To that end, code within a structure should be indented by a standard amount. A second use of indentation is to associate code from a single statement which exceeds a single line with the beginning of that statement.

int value;
 
int max, 
    min;
 
int count = 0;
 
cin >> value;
max = value;
min = value;
 
while (cin) {
   if (max < value) {
      max = value;
   }
 
   if (min > value) {
      min = value;
   }
 
   count++;
   cin >> value;
}
