title: How to turn off formatting for numeric expressions? Visual Studio C++
body: <p>I've done it a thousand jillion times. I write a numeric expression in C++. It is a thing of beauty and a joy to all who behold. Maybe it's something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code> y[N/2 + k] = stuff; // Beauty, eh?
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As I type the final semicolon, Visual Studio says, "No, no, no. You have it all wrong. It should look like <em>this:</em>"</p>
  
  <pre><code>y[N / 2 + k] = stuff; // Have it my way, human!
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>"You need <em>more spaces!</em>"  </p>
  
  <p>On that we disagree.</p>
  
  <p>I go back and edit out the gratuitous spaces - sometimes a lot of them. Hrrrmph.  Is there no option to make it not do that? I have searched in vain. I have also searched in the options-menus.</p>
