Formatting - Spacing

[Sean Webster]

Can anyone tell me the proper spacing rules.
In the assignment tutorial, I see:
System.out.println( "Spot is now home" );
}
***Notice the space after the println method parentheses and the string
In the style guide, I see:
System.out.println("Oatmeal is good and good for you");
***notice the no spacing between the parentheses and the string. Which is correct, or does it even matter?
This is my understanding of the spacing rule:
1 - all identifiers are surrounded with whitespace unless it reduced clarity
2 -note the exceptions in the style guide (methods, arrays, pre and post increment, and casting)

I'm whispering so only you will hear this...
There would appear to be a couple of inconsistencies regarding the style guide and what is actually expected. Mostly to do with some spacings not addressed in the style guide.
A rule that should get you by: If you were to surround all of your String literals with spaces, you would not be in error.
