Coding Style

Nethermind C# Coding Style
General Rules:
We use four spaces for indentation (not tabs).
Do not use Hungarian Notation!
Avoid more than one empty line at any time. For example, do not have two blank lines between members of a type.
If a file happens to differ in style from these guidelines (e.g. private members are named m_member rather than _member), the existing style in that file takes precedence.
We only use var when it's obvious what the variable type is (e.g. var stream = new FileStream(...) not var stream = OpenStandardInput()).
Fields should be specified at the top within type declarations.
When using a single-statement if, we follow these conventions:
Using braces is always accepted, and required if any block of an if/else if/.../else compound statement uses braces or if a single statement body spans multiple lines.
Braces may be omitted only if the body of every block associated with an if/else if/.../else compound statement is placed on a single line. 
Avoid complex conditions in ternary operators.
Avoid declaring methods with more than 5 parameters. Consider refactoring this code.
Try to replace large parameter-sets (> than 5 parameters) with one or more class or struct parameters –
especially when used in multiple method signatures. 
Always call Close() or Dispose() on classes that offer it. 
Wrap instantiation of IDisposable objects with a “using” statement to ensure that Dispose() is
automatically called.
Always prefer aggregation over inheritance. 
Naming:
We use camelCase for local variables and parameters.
We use _camelCase for internal and private fields and use readonly where possible. Prefix internal and private instance fields with _, and thread static fields with t_.
We use snake_case for test method names.
We use IPascalCase for interfaces names (see the I prefix).
For the rest of identifiers not specified here, we use PascalCase.
