In Grok code, the rational use of spaces and indentation can help enhance the readability and maintainability of the code. The following is a detailed introduction to how to use it:
1. Basic indentation rules
1.1 Language-specific indentation specifications
# Python: 4 spaces indent (never use tab characters) def example_function(): if condition: print("Correct indent") # Java/JavaScript: 2 or 4 spaces public class Example { public static void main(String[] args) { if (condition) { System.out.println("correct indent"); } } }
1.2 Clear instructions to Grok
When generating Python code: - Strictly use 4 spaces indentation - Do not mix tabs and spaces - Continue line indentation with an extra level (8 spaces)
2. Spaces around operators
2.1 Standard operator spacing
# Correct example x = (a + b) * (c - d) # Tips for Grok: "When generating code, a space is left on both sides of the operator, except for power operations" result = a**2 + b**2 # Power operators are tightly connected
2.2 Special circumstances handling
# Slicing operation without spaces correct = list[1:3] # The default parameter equal sign of the function does not add spaces to def func(param=default):
3. Spaces in function and class definitions
3.1 Function spacing
# Two blank lines between functions def function_one(): pass def function_two(): # There are two blank lines here pass
3.2 Class definition specification
class MyClass: """Class document string""" def __init__(self): self.attribute = value
Tips for Grok:
When generating class code: 1. A blank line after the class document string 2. A blank line between methods 3. Directly followed by the attribute definition after __init__
4. Parameter list and call spaces
4.1 Function definition
# Def function(param1, param2):
4.2 Function calls
# Correct call method result = calculate_total(items, discount=0.1) # Avoid this result = calculate_total( items, discount = 0.1 )
5. Indentation of multi-line structure
5.1 Multi-line format for list/dictionary
# Correct multi-line indentation config = { 'name': 'value', 'long_parameter': 'another_value', 'nested': { 'inner': 'data' } }
5.2 Chain method call
# The correct way result = (query.filter(condition) .group_by('category') .order_by('date'))
Tips for Grok:
When generating multi-line structure: 1. The elements in brackets are aligned vertically 2. One element per line 3. The ending brackets are a separate line
6. Indentation of conditional statements and loops
6.1 Complex conditional format
# Multi-line conditional statement if (long_condition_1 and long_condition_2 or special_case): handle_condition()
6.2 Indentation in a loop
# List comprehension line break results = [ transform(x) for x in collection if condition(x) ]
7. Format of import statement
7.1 Standard import grouping
# 1. Standard library import os import sys # 2. Third-party library import numpy as np # 3. Local module from . import utils
8. Comments indentation specification
8.1 In-line comments
x = x + 1 # Compensation boundary condition
8.2 Block Comments
# This loop handles the following situations: # 1. Data Cleaning# 2. Outlier Filtering for item in collection: process(item)
9. Exception handling format
9.1 Standard exception handling
try: risky_operation() except SpecificError as e: handle_error(e) except (Error1, Error2) as e: handle_multiple(e) Finally: cleanup()
10. Full prompt template for Grok
Please generate [language] code to comply with the following spaces and indentation rules: 1. Indentation: [4 spaces/2 spaces/tab] 2. Operator: Spaces on both sides [Yes/No], except [Specific Operator] 3. Function: [number of empty lines] after definition, [space rules] after parameter list 4. Multi-line structure: [Alignment], [Maximum Line Width] 5. Comments: [In-line/block comment] format requirements 6. Import: [Group Requirements], [Blank Line Separation]
