What’s there in this. Whenever you encounter a tab replace it with 4 spaces in the output file. Whenever you encounter a brace follow it with 4 spaces.
Keep a variable called tab+spaces in your code. You also have to care about indentation when you encounter braces.
So, replace all tabs by new line and tab_spaces (intially equal to 4).
Once you encounter a bracket, then increment the tab_spaces by 4. When you encounter a closing bracket, decrement a tab_space by 4.
Note that my assumption is that the code is complete and correct. In order to consider a situation when the code may not be correct, you can use a stack to keep track of opening and closing brackets.
