<pre>

Every file should have a function header with:

File name

Programmer Full name

Date last modified

Variable names should be meaningful so additional comments are not necessary to explain what the variable does

A lower case prefix should be fitted to the variable name to help describe it at a glance:

n int

c character

b Boolean

f fload

d double

s C-style null terminated string OR a string object

Ex:

nNumOfSignals

cCharPassed

bIsTrue

fLength

dWidth

There should be NO single character names for variables (Ex: i, j, k, etc) except for arbitrary counters, such as for loops

Function names should have meaningful names (they do not require prefix)

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.

Each function should have a header describing what it does.

Use Inline comments to describe hard to read code. All inline code should be set to the same indention as the code it is describing.

Opening braces should be on the same line as the defining function/if/else if/etc statement.

Ex:

void FunctionOne(int){

if (x > y){

NOT

void FunctionOne(int)

{

if (x > y)

{

There should be NO use of the tab character!!!
