Why coding convention ?
0 likes348 views
Coding conventions provide guidelines for programming style, practices, and naming to make code more consistent, easier to understand, and maintainable. They set standards for indentation, brace style, naming conventions, and other aspects so that collaborators can work together effectively and consistently. While different styles can work, it is important for a team to agree on and stick to shared conventions.
Why coding convention ?
- 2. –Wikipedia “a set of guidelines for a specific programming language that recommend programming style, practices and methods for each aspect of a piece program”
- 3. in most cases, we’ll write in a style that we want $userName $username $user_name
- 5. consistent
- 8. –Paul M. Jones “coding style not because one is better than another, but because we need a standard by which to collaborate”
- 10. or…hit TAB and let the IDE do the conversion for the appropriate number of space
- 11. brace style Allman vs 1TBS http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/2009/04/10/the-only-correct-indent-style
- 12. naming convention CamelCase vs underscore_case www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/2009/04/10/the-only-correct-indent-style toCamelCase or_to_underscore
- 14. in the end it doesn't matter which coding styles we pick.
- 15. what does matter is everyone sticks with those conventions and uses them consistently.
