Reducing the cost of software maintenance is the most often cited reason for following coding conventions. In the introductory section on code conventions for the Java programming language, Sun Microsystems offers the following reasoning: [2]
The Elements of Java Style is a book of rules of programming style in the Java computer language. [1] The book was published by Cambridge University Press in January 2000. The book provides conventions for formatting, naming, documentation, programming and packaging.
For example, Python's PEP 8 is a widely recognized style guide that outlines best practices for writing Python code. In contrast, languages like C or Java may have industry standards that are either formally documented or adhered to by convention.
In computer programming, indentation style is a convention, a.k.a. style, governing the indentation of blocks of source code.An indentation style generally involves consistent width of whitespace (indentation size) before each line of a block, so that the lines of code appear to be related, and dictates whether to use space or tab characters for the indentation whitespace.
Here are some general guidelines for structuring a few different classes of computer science articles. Where possible, these guidelines include one or two examples of a "good" article, i.e. an article demonstrates the style we're aiming for in that particular class
While there is no official style guide for R, the tidyverse style guide from R-guru Hadley Wickham sets the standard for most users. [41] This guide recommends avoiding special characters in file names and using only numbers, letters and underscores for variable and function names e.g. fit_models.R.
The SEI CERT Coding Standards are software coding standards developed by the CERT Coordination Center to improve the safety, reliability, and security of software systems. [1] [2] Individual standards are offered for C, C++, Java, Android OS, and Perl.
The Elements of Programming Style, by Brian W. Kernighan and P. J. Plauger, is a study of programming style, advocating the notion that computer programs should be written not only to satisfy the compiler or personal programming "style", but also for "readability" by humans, specifically software maintenance engineers, programmers and technical writers.
