I think this has been answered. While the first set of braces are K&R
style as they are used in the K&R books. The other two common styles:
void Foo:Bar(Baz myBaz) 
{
        // code here
}
and 
void Foo:Bar(Baz myBaz) 
    {
        // code here
    }
Are just personal/professional styles. 


BTW: K&R function style is:
void Foo:Bar(Baz myBaz) 
{
        // code here
}

But K&R if and while statement form is:
	if (condition) {
        	// code
	}
