StyleGuidelines 12 Sep 2007 - 02:05 - r1.10 JoshKittleson
// Overview and Rationale // Most programming languages provide a great deal of flexibility in the syntax they allow. Different programmers have different styles, and this freedom allows each person to program in a style that he/she is comfortable with. However, without the careful application of some set of consistent guidelines, the clarity of a program may suffer. Consider this example from the wikipedia entry on obfuscation: // The following program is a ...
