<pre>Every file should have a function header with:<br /><ul> <li>File name</li> <li>Programmer Full name</li> <li>Date last modified</li></ul>

Example:<br /><div><b style="color: #008800; line-height: 0.5em;"> /*<br /> Title<br /> Title.h<br /> By: Full Name<br /> Date Last Modified: 9:59 AM April-15-10<br /> Description of what is in the file<br /> */<br /></b></div><br /> Variable names should be meaningful so additional comments are not necessary to explain what the variable does. Example:<div><b style="color: #000000; line-height: 0.5em;"> int nNum; <span style="color: #008800;">//Bad</span><br /> int nNumOfTypes <span style="color: #008800;">//Good</span><br /></b></div><br />

Ex <table border="1" cellspacing="3" cellpadding"5"> <tr style="border: 1px solid #000000; text-align: center;"> <th>Prefix</th> <th>Data Type</th> <th>Example</th> <tr style="border:1px solid #000000; text-align: center;"> <td>n</td> <td>int</td> <td>nNumOfSignals</td>cCharPassed </tr> <tr style="border: 1px solid #000000; text-align: center;"> <td>c</td> <td>char</td> <td>cTypeMode</td> </tr> <tr style="border: 1px solid #000000; text-align: center;"> <td>b</td> <td>boolean</td> <td>bIsTrue</td> </tr> <tr style="border: 1px solid #000000; text-align: center;"> <td>f</td> <td>float</td> <td>fLength</td> </tr> <tr style="border: 1px solid #000000; text-align: center;"> <td>d</td> <td>double</td> <td>dWidth</td> </tr> <tr style="border: 1px solid #000000; text-align: center;"> <td>s</td> <td>C-Style null terminated string<br />OR a String object</td> <td>sUserInput</td> </tr> <tr style="border: 1px solid #000000; text-align: center;"> <td>p</td> <td>pointers</td> <td>pnNumOfSignals</td> </tr> <tr style="border: 1px solid #000000; text-align: center;"> <td>m_</td> <td>Data Member/<br />Instance Variable</td> <td>m_pnNumOfSignals<br /><b>NOT</b><br />pnm_NumOfSignals<br /><b>OR</b><br />mpn_NumOfSignals</td> </tr></table> All variable declarations should be done on their own lines!

Also There should be NO single character names for Classes, ALL Data Member should have a m_ prefixed to the name to show that it is a Data Member variables ( Instance Variables )Ex:int m_nType;NOTint nm_Type OR INT mn_Type;i, j, k, etc) except for arbitrary counters, such as for for loops

All variable declaration const and #define Variable names should be done on it's own linein All Caps

There should be NO single character names for variables (ExExample: i, j, k, etc) except for arbitrary counters, such as for loops<br /><div><b style="color: #000000; line-height: 0.5em;"> const int nMAX_TRIPS;<br /> #define MAX_TRIPS 1<br /></b></div><br />

 Example:<br /><div><b style="color: #000000; line-height: 0.5em;"> GetChar();<br /> NOT<br /> getChar(); OR Getchar();<br /></b></div><br />  Each function should have only one point of entry and one point of exit.! I.E. There should be only 1 return statement in each function.
