How to set tab in Emacs?

When i was writing C language, it just indented 2 spaces. When i was writing Java language, 4 spaces were indented. Why? How to set tab in Emacs? like VIM.

you set the c style in emacs in the ~/.emacs file

Code:

(add-hook 'c-mode-hook

              '(lambda ()

                (c-set-style "Stroustrup")

                (c-toggle-auto-state)))

(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook

              '(lambda ()

              (c-set-style "Stroustrup")

                (c-toggle-auto-state)))

look at Esc x c-set-style RETURN TAB
to see the available options
in order to alter one of these styles to suit your taste i think you will have to hack at cc-mode.el and change some of the variables in c-style-alist or just write a new style
