silly question, how does compiler threat blank lines?

hi, I hope this isn't the most patetic question on the whole web lol, but I would just like to know a little more bout how compiler does exacly threat them and does many blank lines in the source code has some (dis)advantages over the "non-blank lines" source code.

except that it's more readable.

btw, why I'm asking this is that I've recently started writing an "Cash register" project and it contains big chunks of code which becomes somehow hard to follow and reading so I've decides to put alot of blank lines between functions and other things to make it a little bit more readable.

thanks.

It makes no difference. Whitespace is ignored by the compiler (except where it makes a different in how tokens are parsed).

That is:

a






b

is the same as:

a b

is the same as:

                   a
        b
