What are coding conventions for?

  • Create a specific look for users to focus on content.
  • Allow the user to understand the code faster and better.
  • Make it easy to copy or modify the code.

Most important conventions:

Layout conventions

  • Write only one statement/declaration per line.
  • Intend lines.
  • Use parentheses to make clauses.

Commenting conventions

  • Place the comment on a separate line, not at the end of a line of code.
  • Begin comment text with an uppercase letter.
  • End comment text with a period.
  • Insert one space between the comment delimiter (//) and the comment text.
