formatting code

My teacher said that i should go to
Tools → Options → Text Editor → C/C++ → Tabs

put 4 in for "Tab size", and 4 in for "Indent size" If you pick 4, then you should select "Keep tabs". I think he also said that VS will line up the code when it saves.
My code is formatted horribly. Do i have to do this by hand?

Code:

---


bool list::remove (const char * const name)
{
       
        //search for the data to be removed
        node * prev = NULL;
        node * curr = headByName;
        while (curr)
        {
               
       
                if(strcmp(curr->item.getName(), name) == 0)
                {
                        //remove the data
                        if(!prev)
                                headByName = curr->nextByName;
                        else
                                prev->nextByName = curr->nextByName;
                        delete curr;
                  return true;
               
                }

                prev = curr;
                curr = curr->nextByName;
        }
        return false;



}

to something like:

Code:

---


bool list::remove (const char * const name)
{
       
        //search for the data to be removed
        node * prev = NULL;
        node * curr = headByName;
        while (curr)
        {
          if(strcmp(curr->item.getName(), name) == 0)
          {
                if(!prev)
                headByName = curr->nextByName;
                else
                prev->nextByName = curr->nextByName;
                delete curr;
                return true;
          }

                prev = curr;
                curr = curr->nextByName;
        }
                return false;



}

It probably won't change what's already there, no. There might be a "Re-indent" feature in Visual Studio but I don't know where it is.

4 for tab size, using *spaces*, for four tabs.

And it's...Ctrl-A to select all, then Ctrl-K,Ctrl-F to Format Selection in VS.

Amazing....
