I want to make simple tutorial in C++
Now I want to know which one these code is right?

int a = 20, b = 3;
a = 2 * (b = 8);

or

int a=20,b=3;
a=2*(b=8);

also give me an example to find others!

You would likely wish to add spacing inbetween such tokens (a, =, etc.). Neglecting proper spacing to distinguish specific tokens can lead to readability issues, you may wish to look at some of the common indent styles here:

see: Indent style - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is but one of many resources on proper spacing.

From Google coding conventions the section on formatting
http://google-styleg...ls#Conditionals

It is worth nothing that these styles are given enough importance to be included as part of coding conventions followed by every decent professional software development organization.

Is there any program that do this job for me?

Depending upon what platform and editors you are using this can be done.

This is one utility for Unix / Linux. The link also mentions a few others.

Also you can easily find scripts for vim editor doing default settings for code.

For windows, mostly there are short cuts for these settings for e.g. in Visual studio you can set tab space in editor setting.

Then you can "select all" a file and pressing CTRL+K+F would format the whole code whatever state it was in according to current settings.
