   What code convetion do you use?
  Hi!What code convetion do you use in your company? Or do you create a new one?(I'm not talking about when I code alone)I will apreciate  if you write any link.Thanks a lot.

Or do you create a new one?(I'm not talking about when I code alone)I will apreciate  if you write any link.Thanks a lot.I try and emulate this as much as possible for C#. I don't follow it completely, but for the most part, emulating the standards set by MSDN example code can do you no harm.My company has no official coding standard, unfortunately.;  We follow the MSDN one pretty closely. It doesn't really make much sense to invent a new one when so much of your code makes such heavy use of the standard libarary, it'd look a little out of place, really.Edit: Oh sorry, it's not specific to just C#... I don't know why I read that into the OP :) For C++ I tend to use a standard library/boost coding style, but that's not in a company environment. In my last job, we wrote C++ similarly to how we do C# now (though with a 'C' prefix for class names... a strange practice that I do not understand to this day, probably borrowed from ATL/MFC).[Edited by - Codeka on February 8, 2010 6:07:34 PM];  I follow the C# recommended spec pretty much verbatim, in both C++ and C#. Other languages, I sorta make it up as I go >_<   ;  Apps Hungarian (not Systems Hungarian).There was actually a big email-fight at work today regarding standards, resulting in this:;  My work uses the default MSVS settings, PascalCase for classes/publics, camelCase for locals/params/privates, comment only the peculiar cases... pretty standard stuff. For C# and java anyways. C++ is pretty standard C++ notation.For my personal projects I change the default settings to not put { on a newline. I also will always use braces for conditionals, and always parenthesize a return value.And oh, how I await the day that IDE autoformatting is good enough to let everyone do whatever they want and then reformat it to some convention for check-in.   ;  When we started up the company I didn't want to spend a lot of time on style so we used the Google C++ style Guide with very little modifications. Also all of the C# code is following the C# recommended spec.   ;  Braces on new line, spaces instead of tabs, etc., the typical MS C# style. The specifics don't matter too much since it's just formatting; what's important is that you pick a standard and apply it consistently.What's considerably more important are things like naming, exception usage, and general code design. For this I highly recommend Framework Design Guidelines by Krzysztof Cwalina and Brad Abrams. Despite its name I find it highly applicable to non-framework code. The chapter on naming in particular is hugely important and useful.   ;  I'll generally use whatever style is most common in the language I'm using. My bracing in C++ is different from some styles in that it puts braces on newlines for bracing levels deeper than two levels or sections that are deeper than one level and are <10 lines long. Eg:// C#public class Foo{   public static void Main()   { int someVariable = 0; Console.WriteLine(someVariable);   }}// Javapublic class Thing {   public void bar () { System.out.println("Foobar");   }}// C++class something{public:   something() { // this is only a couple of lines foo(); bar();   }   void derp()    {  if (/* test here */)foo();  elsebar();   }};// still C++void free_function(){   if (/* test */)   {  if (/* another test */) {    // something    // something } else {    // something else    // something else    // something else }   } else { // something else   }}; Lisp(defun factorial-demo (x)   (if (= x 1)1(* n (factorial-demo (- n 1)))))// Scalaobject Hello extends Application {   def foo = System.out.println("Foo");   def bar (x: int) = {if (x == 5) {  System.out.println("bar");} else {  System.out.println(x);}   }};  Thanks a lot, very interesting.I found a lot of info here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_styleAll opinions are welcome.By the way, does anyone work in a company without them? What do you think?Thanks.
