Code Guidelines

Identation and Space vs Tab

Don't save tabs in files

• Do not save tabs in files, using the tab key is useful for identing your code, but the tab lengh varies with font and text editor.
• All modern text editors allow you to save tabs as spaces.
• So instead save tabs as 4 spaces.

Identantion size

• We use 4 spaces per tab/identation.

Code Styling

• Open brackets on the function/method line.

function() {
    code {
      conditions
    } edoc
}

So close brackets and curly brackets on the same collumns the were opened.

Comments

COMMENT YOUR CODE!

• Always use plenty of comments in your code.
• Comment what a block of code is doing and maybe even what a line of code is doing!
• Not everyone will know what your code is about, and it's likely that people not profficient in programming will be reading the code trying to learn a programming language, so commenting a whole function might not be enough, explain what and how something is getting done in the code.
