Indenting in C++ Mode

Indenting in C++ Mode

[Peter Rochford]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 430 bytes --]

Dear GNU Help,
 
How do I customize Emacs so that when editing a C++ file the indentation
of for loops, etc., will be 3 spaces instead of the default of 2 spaces?

 
Thank you. 
 
Sincerely,

Add the line

(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook '(lambda () (setq c-basic-offset 3)))

to your `~/.emacs'.
