	Programming style - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Programming style (also called coding standards or code convention) is a term that describes conventions for writing source code in a certain programming language.
		Programming style is often dependent on the actual choice of programming language one is writing in.
		Indent style, in programming languages that use braces or indenting to delimit logical blocks of code, such as C, is also a key to good style.
	en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Programming_style (707 words)

	Indent style - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer programming, an indent style is a convention governing the indentation of blocks of code to convey the program's structure.
		This style is similar to the standard indentation used by the Pascal programming language and Transact-SQL, where the braces are equivalent to the "begin" and "end" keywords.
		Advantages of this style are that the indented code is clearly set apart from the containing statement by lines that are almost completely whitespace, improving readability; the ending brace lines up in the same column as the beginning brace; and the braces are consistently at the beginning of their lines.

	Programming Style Guide
		Styles vary, but for this department, a particular style is encouraged and sometimes enforced.
		A style checker is provided for you to check your Java or C programs, and may be used in marking your assignments.
		This style is designed to help you with difficult bugs that the compiler doesn't spot, to help lab supervisors or markers to scan your code quickly, and to allow various tools to be used to view or manipulate or analyse or print your code without problems.

	C++ Programming Style (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In programming, there are still stylistic differences among authors, but the differences are smaller, and the standards are more exacting, because of the engineering task (two programs to do the same thing will have to be pretty similar) and because of the overwhelming emphasis on clarity.
		Programming style is a time for you to step back from your program, take a deep breath, and try to write it and re-write it until it is as clear as possible.
		Programming style is a way of showing respect and concern for your reader: you're going to go to the extra effort to make your code clear and understandable.

	Elements of Programming Style
		Within the program text, programmers have three primary tools for communicating their intentions: comments (explanation for the program); clear variable names, constants, expressions and subroutines (the words of the program itself); and white space and alignment (the organization of the words in the program).
		All programs should include, at or near the beginning of the program, a comment block with at least the following information: the programmer's name and appropriate identification, the date of writing (and possibly dates and purpose of major modifications), the name of the program, the computer and operating system for which it was written.
		There is a place in good programming style for global variables, and that is for a body of knowledge that will be acted on by many sections of the program, and which is in some sense the major essence of that program.

	A Programming Style for Java
		I've been programming full-time in Java for several years, which hardly makes me an expert on the language, but I've developed a style I've become comfortable with and thought it would be worthwhile to write down.
		This style has evolved from the style I used for C programs, with some influences from the years I spent working in Scheme and Dylan, along with the usual collection of ``little'' or domain-specific languages I've also used, such as
		Much of my style is independent of the language being used; I believe that my Dylan and C programs have substantially the same feel as my Java programs, and that's natural to expect.

	Developing Good Programming Style
		Programming style is a term used to describe the effort a programmer should take to make his or her code easy to read and easy to understand.
		In most programming classes, it is impractical for instructors to require large amounts of external documentation for programs that are only a few hundred lines long.
		An efficient program is better than an inefficient one, of course, but it is also true that a slow, correct program is better than a fast, buggy one.

	Programming Style
		A program written in good style is usually easier to understand, debug, and update, than the same program would be if written in bad style.
		The C++ programming language is built on a foundation of the C programming language, with features added on for the purpose of building a better programming language.
		Such a program might well use the value 60 for multiple purposes, including the number of seconds per minute, the number of minutes per hour, and the number of paper clips in a small box (has nothing to do with time, which is part of the point).

	Style is Substance
		Programs that use any new features should be required to be in K&R style or be rejected by the compiler as syntactically illegal.
		Discovering a style that improves your productivity or code quality by more than a few percent over the common styles is about as likely as discovering a new position for sex.
		I, [insert name here], know of a programming style whose impact on programmer productivity and/or program quality is large enough that my freedom to choose it over any major common style validates the programmer productivity and investment used industry wide in arguing about style, imposing style, and reformatting to match styles.

		A deterministic program is one which will always run in the same manner no matter how many times the program is run.
		A defensive program is one where the programmer does not "trust" the input data to the part of the system they are programming.

		It is written in ANSI C, with all the typical strengths (speed) and weaknesses (lack of higher level program structuring mechanisms, etc.) of that language.

		Their introduction leads to reflections on the need for specific operations on types: those operations would allow a style of ``differential programming'' that is one constituent of the object-oriented methodology.
		This style of programming allows the mix of ``top-down'' and ``bottom-up'' strategies for development.
		Modularity in itself is a good tool for organization of programs in a top-down approach, but the simple parameterization operation is often too limited to reuse of existing modules.

		The code is then run on a virtual machine, a program written in native code on the host hardware that translates generic Java bytecode into usable code on the hardware.
		Although it is indeed possible to write programs for the Java platform that behave consistently across many host platforms, the large number of available platforms with small errors or inconsistencies led some to parody Sun's "Write once, run anywhere" slogan as "Write once, debug everywhere".
		This leads to a "declarative" programming style where the programmer says what should be done and tools emit the code to do it.
