Kinda.

K&R versions of C had declarations/definitions like:

int somefunction( x,y,z )
	int x ;
	char y ;
	char * z ;
{
	/* some code */
}

Which was then "fixed" by ANSI.

But K&R formating is to do with the way they layout their code in "The C programming language",
which is (from 2nd Edition [ANSI])

    int Foo(int arg) {
        if (arg) {
            bar();
            return 1;
        } else
            return 0;
    }
