Summary
The best coding practices will be different between each team and each programmer. For example, you have seen examples in this book of camelCase being used for identifiers instead of only being used for parameters, as seen in the C# language guidelines documentation. Writing code in this manner may not be as consequential to a small team in comparison to a large software team implementing the same thing. However, a code base needs to be kept easy to read and the team’s productivity maintained by making it easy to make fixes or add new features. Best practices in code can lead to many benefits, such as the following:
- Proper naming conventions make sure that everyone knows what the identifiers are for.
- Consistent syntax enables better readability.
- Reusable code makes it less likely to generate bugs.
- Extensible code allows software engineers to easily add or remove features.
- Documentation provides all software engineers and its users with best practice...
