Computer Programming Language Coding Standards

Code conventions for programming language improves readability and modifiability of the program. It includes naming conventions for variables, constants and functions. Structuring also makes good sense for the same purpose (readability and modifiability). Including comments gives all the required things discussed here, it plays vital role in online documentation where future modifications can be made easy by describing each and every variables very nicely and also describing their purpose and scope in the program.

Have a look to a small example showing this situation.

Generally all these things are somewhat common in all the programming languages but most of the rules are unique developed by the creators of the language, like suppose Java has all the code conventions came from the Sun Microsystems.

• Code Conventions for the Java Programming Language.
• Code Conventions for the C Programming Language.
• Code Conventions for the C++ Programming Language.
• Code Conventions for the Visual Basic Programming Language.
