Explain different types of coding style in software engineering?

Answer 1

Meaningful variable names.

Always use descriptive and meaningful variable names. Don't worry about the length. Meaningful variable names help other people reading your code understand what is going on. Example:

if (a <= = 24)

What is a? This is confusing.

if (vacationHours <= = 24)

See, better.

<li>Variable scope indicated by name.

Code is easier to read and understand if each variable indicates it's scope. One way to do this is to add prefixes to variable names, for example:

Scope = Class member or instance variable: m_hours

Scope = Class static variable: s_hours

Scope = Parameter passed in a method call: p_hours

Scope = local variable to a method: l_hours
