Question

I have my Java/C code running in NetBeans IDE. Where i have some mess algorithms which is like largest/longest something like following:

if () { 
 while() {
   for() { 
   }
 }
} elseif( ) {
 for() {
   while() { 
     for() {
     }
   }
 }
} elseif( ) {
 do {
  for () {  
    if() { 
    } else { 
    }
  }
 } while() ; 
} elseif( ) {
  switch() {
   if(a.starsWith()) { 
    for() {
     do {
      for() {
       if() {
       } elseif() {
       } else { 
         switch() {  }
       }
      }
     } while();            
    }
   }
  } 
} elseif( ) {
} elseif( ) {
} elseif( ) {
}

Therefore, to find out how do i get this following type of indent highlighted lines?

Answer 1

Not sure what your question is, and the image you attached is too small:-(

Anyways, you can specify the type of indent you want NetBeans to use for your code in Preferences -> Editor -> Formatting. You can choose the indents to be tabs, or (recommended) spaces. There is a box where you type in the number of spaces you want per tab.

Also, you can make NetBeans format the code automatically for you, under Source -> Format.

Hope this helps!
