Programming Style Conventions
Programming Style is, of course, a "matter of style", and therefore different programmers will have different ideas about what constitutes "good style". When programmers work together, however, it is not a good idea for each programmer to pick his or her own style. Consistency suffers immediately, and, in the long term if not in the short, so does readability. It is therefore extremely important for any programmer to get used to writing code that conforms to a certain style, even if that style is not necessarily the one that programmer would have chosen. The style rules and guidelines that we will employ are described and illustrated under the two links below.
