============================ Programming Style Guidelines ============================ .. contents:: Naming Conventions ------------------ * Iterator variables should be called i, j, k etc. * The prefix is should be used for boolean variables and methods :: isSet, isVisible, isFinished, isFound, isOpen There are a few alternatives to the is prefix that fit better in some situations. These are the has, can and should prefixes:: bool hasLicense(); bool canEvaluate(); bool shouldSort(); * Negated boolean variable names must be avoided :: bool isError; // NOT: isNoError bool isFound; // NOT: isNotFound * Exception classes should be suffixed with Exception :: AccessException Files ----- * bla bla bla Statements ---------- * Variables should be initialized where they are declared * Use of global variables should be minimized??? * do-while loops can be avoided??? Layout ------ * Basic indentation should be 4??? Comments -------- * Comments should be included relative to their position in the code :: if (true) { // Do something something(); } * Class and method header comments should follow the JavaDoc conventions Plugin Namespace ---------------- :: element.bind("action" + ".wysiwyg"); element.unbind(".wysiwyg");
