10,896 PointsC# Syntax Confusion
Hi, I'm a bit confused about the C# Syntax - I'm hoping someone here will help me out.
Why do sometimes the parentheses get a space before them, as in 'Start' and the variable playerAnimator:
void Start () {
playerAnimator = GetComponent<Animator> ();
playerRigidBody = GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();
}
And sometimes they are used directly after, as they are here after the List:
private List<AudioClip> soundClips = new List<AudioClip>();
Thanks in advance!

10,896 PointsThanks Justin, I hope that's the case. I'll try running the code with and without spaces to see if it makes a difference.
