In professional contexts there's often coding guidelines that define
the coding style standards & recommendations for companies or projects.

I've got the impression that every individual has its own preference,
generally. So  N individuals => N+1 existing "preferred styles"  :-)

I suggest to inspect some publicly available coding standards to see
the many possible custom definitions; that will give you an impression
how many style variants you can expect.

(Mine doesn't matter; but it's not identical to 1. or 2. above.)
