Coding Standards

Coding Standards Presentation

They are a series of procedures that can be defined for a particular programming language specifying a programming style, the methods, & different procedures. These procedures can be for various aspects of the program written in that language. They can be considered as essential attributes of software development.

A coding standard makes sure that all the developers working on the project are following certain specified guidelines. The code can be easily understood and a proper consistency is maintained.

Consistency has a positive impact on the quality of the program and one should maintain it while coding. Also, it should be taken care that the guidelines are homogeneously followed across different levels of the system and they do not contradict each other. The finished program code should look like that it has been written by a single developer, in a single session.
