== Team Programming Standards ==
 
An area for listing our teams programming standards that we will use when constructing the project. Please follow these rules when writing code for this project. This will make it easier for us to help each other and collaborate in the whole process.
 
 
 
=== Declare only one variable in each line. ===
 
This makes it easier to scan the code and find the type of a variable that you see somewhere else in the code.
 
 
 
Do:
 
  int a;
 
  int b = 0;
 
  int c = a;
 
 
 
Don't:
 
  int a, b = 0, c = a;
 
 
 
 
 
=== Do not use tabs when indenting. ===
 
The tab space is interpreted different across different software and operating systems. Use normal spaces to add indentation instead.
 
 
 
 
 
==== (Discussion: Indentation) ====
 
Something simple, but that should be standard for all pieces of the code.

|-
| fmDeOliveira || I usually put two spaces for a new indent, and keep a blank line between new big blocks of code and whatever comes before it (usually an if statement, a for loop, or the signature of a function).
+
| Timothy Catibog || jordyy.catibog
 
|-
 
|-
| MattAdams || Please only indent to 4 spaces. If we all use the same indenting, when it comes to putting our code together it will looks the same.
+
| Felipe de Oliveira || feliploko
NOTE: Most text editors have the option to change tabs to spaces, so you are still able to press the tab key, however it will convert it to spaces when the file is saved.
 
 
|-
 
|-
| Mziaei1 || I actually agree with 2 spaces more than 4 spaces. There was an example here before!!
+
| Andrew Misko || ammisko
    main() {
 
      for (i = 0; i <10; i++) {
 
        printf("Hi!");
 
      }
 
    }
 
 
|-
 
|-
  
| Timothy || What I do in Visual Studio is change the indentation settings to input 2 spaces instead of tabs, and I prefer it this way just in case there is a situation where multiple nested code is required and it's not all running off the page to view it properly.

Our IRC channel is #oop344_!you on freenode. Please join the channel whenever you are on IRC.
  
| Mddaniels || I myself have always used the tab just for speed and ease of programming, plus I like having my code spaced out so that I can locate blocks of code better. But if the general opinion is to use two spaces then I will modify the visual studio software to use two spaces.
+
The channel is restricted to Fardad and the team members. There is an access list that will automatically kick and ban anyone not listed. For this reason, we should always make sure we are using our official IRC nicks (or one within our nick group) and that we are identified with the nickserv (/nickserv identify ''mypassword'') before issuing the join command.
|-

=== Put the pointer identifier(*) right after the target variable type. ===
+
If you are getting a message that you are banned on our channel, make sure you are identified and then issue the command
Pointers are hard enough to deal with. It only makes it more complicated if they are declared differently throughout the code.
 
  
Do:
+
   /chanserv unban #oop344_!you
   int* p1;
 
  char* p2;
 
  
Don't:

before trying to join again.

There are two major ways of dealing with the iteration variable on '''for''' loops. We should come to a consensus on how to deal with it on our project.
 
  
Option 1: Declare the variables outside the loop; initialize them inside the loop; keep their exit values for future use.

  int i;                                // counter

  for (i = 0; i<5; i++) printf(".");    // Prints .....
 
  printf("%d",i);                      // Prints 5
 
  
Option 2: Declare and initialize variables inside the loop; lose the variable at the end of the loop scope;
+
=== [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Team_!YOU_-_Official_Standards Official Team !You Programming Standards] ===

| fmDeOliveira || I definitely prefer option 2. It is much easier to keep recycling the loop variables without having to worry if they already exist or not. In case we need the value of the loop variable after the loop is done, we should just copy it to another variable before the end of the loop.
 
|-
 
| ammisko || I like option 1 better (I changed it a bit). I think it looks cleaner and is much easier to read for someone who doesn't know what the code does (especially with comments).  Also what if we need to use a loop variable from outside the for loop?  Or if we need to use the first part of the for-loop for other code?  Option 1 could accommodate that better I think.
 
|-
 
  
| MattAdams || I like both ways. I use option1 when I need to use the counter for something else. And I use option2 when I need to right a quick for loop. As for a standard, I think option1 should be used, that way all of the variables are declared at the top of every function, and that way we don't have to copy the counter to another variable.
 
  
|-
 
  
| Mddaniels || I agree with option one, there are plenty of times when you need the counters saved for use later in the function.

| fmDeOliveira || I suggest we avoid abbreviations, since what might be obvious for some could be confusing for others. Full words or short expressions could be used where the first letter is always lower case, and the first letter of the following words are upper case. Examples: cost, totalPrice, numberOfPeople.
 
|-
 
  
| MattAdams || I also agree w/ Felipe. Using Camle notation is a nice and easy way to name variables. However, I would have said numOfPeople, instead of 'numberOfPeople'. As for #define goes. Use UPPER case, and separate words by the underscore(_). ie. #define ISBN_LENGTH, #define AREA_MAX, #define MAX, #define LENGTH

| fmDeOliveira || I prefer using // for single-line comments and /* */ for blocks of commented code. This would avoid problems commenting out blocks of code that already have single-line comments (the end of the single-line comment would not be interpreted as the end of the block comment).
 
|-
 
 
 
| MattAdams || I also like using // for end of the line comments to slitly explain whats going on, and use /* */ for commented out code, as well as explaining a certain block of code that is confusing to understand.

| Mddaniels|| What you need to remember is that we are coding in C the // for single line comments does not work in C. All coments need to be in the /* */ format. Also try and use the comments to reflect the Art of Programming. Code should be written that any programmer can look at the code and understand what is going on.

How do we deal with else statements?
 
 
 
Option 1: else right after the end of the if block
 
  if (a > 0) {
 
    printf(".");
 
  } else {
 
    printf(",");
 
  }
 
 
 
Option 2: else on a line below the end of the if block
 
  if (a > 0) {
 
    printf(".");
 
  }
 
  else {
 
    printf(",");
 
  }
 
 
 
Mddaniels example: This is how I was taught in IPC144 by Murray Saul
 
  if (a > 0)
 
  {

Below we all will post our OOP244 Assignment 4 from last semester. Please zip all of the files, and upload it.
 
 
 
This will help all of us create our coding "rules". I, of all people, know how hard it is to break coding habits. So if we upload examples of how we code, then we can have a better understanding of each other's habits, and create rules that make us all happy.
 
  
The sooner everyone posts their code, the sooner everyone else can read it, and the sooner we can create our programming rules.
