The compiler doesn't check your indentation at all. (OK, not true, these days you get warnings for misleading indentation.) But here's an example of misleading indentation in C:
if(some condition)
do something; {
do something else;
}
do another thing;
You can stretch 'some condition' out over multiple lines and have some more parents inside of it, to make it more confusing.

I see.
Yes
I class that as a bug in the original C specification
But you either make visual indentation significant, or you risk having a discrepancy between visual indentation and what the language sees.
