Patrick Guio. Good Programming Practice. Code Formatting: Be Consistent! Rule of thumb: Consistency more important than specific formatting style. No matter how many SPACE’s you use for an indent, use it consistently throughout the source code. SPACE’s and TAB’s do not mix well! Indent code to better convey the logical structure of your code.
Coding best practices or programming best practices are a set of informal, sometimes personal, rules (best practices) that many software developers, in computer programming follow to improve software quality. [1]
The syntax of a programming language is the set of rules governing what the allowed expressions of a programming language can look like; these are the rules governing allowed program structure.
1. Goals of this Lecture. Help you learn about: Good programming (verb) style. Good program (noun) style. Why? A well-styled program is easier to maintain and more likely to be correct than a poorly-styled program. A power programmer knows the qualities of a well-styled program, and how to develop one. 2. Lecture Overview.
This paper examines good programming practices using a framework that first discusses the structure of individual programs, then considers study-wide GPP, and finally discusses compound or TA-level recommendations.
What good is a theory of programming? Who wants one? Thousands of programmers program every day without any theory. Why should they bother to learn one? The answer is the same as for any other theory. For example, why should anyone learn a theory of motion? You can move around perfectly well without one. You can throw a ball without one.
