_____________________________
This is styler50, a Python 3 program which stylizes C code following the guidelines of style50 and CS50's style website (https://manual.cs50.net/style/).
styler50 takes in code from a given file and tokenizes it, breaking it down into a list of words, numbers, and symbols.
Then, it proceeds to write these tokens to a string, adding space where needed in order to stylize the code correctly.
Finally, it overwrites the original code on said file with the new, stylized code.
styler50 is not perfect, as it is impossible to implement every little detail of stylizing C code.
However, in most cases, code outputted by styler50 will pass style50 checks and adhere to the guidelines on the website.
_____________________________
In order to use styler50, make sure to install Python 3 first, of course.
Next, run styler50, and in the shell, execute styler50(your_file_name).
your_file_name should be the path of the file relative to the folder in which styler50 is also located.
Make sure the path also includes an extension.
I.e., if styler50 is located in a folder called Folder and you wish to stylize input.c, also found directly in Folder,
execute styler50(input.c).
However, if input.c is located in a folder called Inputs, which itself is located in Folder,
execute styler50(Inputs/input.c).
The file need not be a .c file, but should be a raw text file such as .c or .txt.
The output will overwrite your input file, so make sure to save a copy of the input file if desired.
