Coding Conventions Conventions make the code more readable (by humans) Make sure you review the Java Coding Conventions: http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConvTOC.doc.html Highlights: Package names begin lower-case (e.g. java.util) Class names begin upper-case Method names begin lower-case (except constructors) Indentation is four (4) spaces Beginning braces on same line, closing aligned with initiating keyword Instance variables begin lower-case, no special conventions (e.g. m_, etc.) One statement per line 12/1/2018 CS210-Summer 2005
