Off-side rule
A computer
programming language
is said to adhere to the
off-side rule
if
block
s in that language are expressed by their
indentation
. The term was coined by
Peter J. Landin
, after the
offside
law of
football
(soccer). This is contrasted with
free-form languages
, notably
curly bracket programming languages
, where indentation is not meaningful and
indent style
is only a matter of convention and code formatting.
