Rule

Sub ID a

At least one space shall be inserted before and after operators and after commas.

Single-byte spaces shall not be inserted between unary operators and operands.

Example — Correct

foo = bar + baz;
strcmp(qux, 'AEIOU')

x = -baz;

Example — Incorrect

foo=bar+baz;
strcmp(qux, 'AEIOU')

x = - baz;

Rationale

Sub ID a:

• The proper use of spaces around operators and commas can improve readability.

Verification

Model Advisor check: Check spaces in expressions (Simulink Check)
