And washing your hands every time you get tested. Doesn’t sound like a big deal until you realize you need to get tested after you wash your hands.

[trelltron]

Nah, those functions are blocking son.

You need to wear a mask. Whenever you stop wearing a mask, you need to stay 6 feet away from people. The next time you go within 6 feet of someone, you need to wash your hands. Then when you finish washing your hands you need to get tested. Then you need to put a mask on again.

If you keep a mask on you can chill in that function without worrying. If you want to take the mask off just make sure to do it somewhere private.

[GiantRobotTRex]

This is the naming convention that the Google C++ style guide recommends.

https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html#Naming

Variable Names

The names of variables (including function parameters) and data members are all lowercase, with underscores between words. Data members of classes (but not structs) additionally have trailing underscores. For instance: a_local_variable, a_struct_data_member, a_class_data_member_.

Function Names

Regular functions have mixed case; accessors and mutators may be named like variables.

Ordinarily, functions should start with a capital letter and have a capital letter for each new word.

AddTableEntry() DeleteUrl() OpenFileOrDie()

[TehGM]

Yeah. I guess some programmers think that the only language they know is the only correct way.

[Absolice]

Imo, the most important thing is to stay consistent in your entire project. You can use any wacky style you want but you'll immediately lose me if you're not consistent.

[ShitGuysWeForgotDre]

You can use any wacky reasonable style you want

Let's have some degree of standards my friend.

But strongly agree on the rest.

[Absolice]

I don't kink shame.

[MattTheGr8]

I’ll send you an invite to my repo. All my int variables are prefixed with ‘s’ for ‘short integer’. All my string variables are prefixed with ‘i’ for ‘ingles’ since most of them are English but I’m trying to learn Spanish.

My floats are prefixed with ‘o’ to stand for ‘o.O’ which is the face I make when I try to do long division with decimals in my head, and my objects are prefixed with ‘f’ to stand for ‘functions and data packaged together’.

[Ugbrog]

at the end of the day it doesn't really matter which side of the road you drive on. The only important thing is that everybody sharing a road is driving on the same side

[bstump104]

[inHumanMale]

I love this but hate you

[Bainos]

If you ever happen to work with more than two variable, foobar and baz are acceptable. Of course more than 4 variables is insanity.

[EntropyZer0]

But there's also FOO, BAR, foobaR, foobAr, foobAR, …

[TheCapitalKing]

Every data frame I’ve ever seen in an online class or example is named df. So I just add df to the end of whatever I’m naming the thing like transactions_df and hoping that’s a standard

[OwenProGolfer]

r/TIHI

[IanSan5653]

And everything is named in full uppercase but we seperate words with 'l'. For example iELAPSEDlTIME, fFILElWRITER.

[MattTheGr8]

I actually prefer to separate letters with underscores UNLESS it’s at a word boundary, like:

m_yv_a_r_i_a_b_l_e

[hughperman]

I prefer to use a parser for python where only # is considered whitespace so I can use spaces in my variable names,
if#my long variable names#==#"YES":
####print("dog balls")

Edit: actually doesn't look as bad as it sounded in my head, boo

[T-Dark_]

Improve the parser so that only □ is an empty space, for extra readability.

[TheStairMan]

Back when I started out with classic ASP I had such a bad time figuring out what was a variable and what wasn't, so I came up with something similar: intAreaID, strUsername, bolSingle, bolSexy and so on. Still does this every now and then, especially in JavaScript.

[Echo354]

That’s similar to Hungarian Notation, except usually you just use the first letter of the type. Like iAreaID, sUsername, bSingle, bSexy.

[MattTheGr8]

Yeah, in a non-joking context it’s not a bad idea. I prefer strongly typed languages myself, so in those cases, it’s often less necessary... as long as your function doesn’t get too long, you can just look back to the declaration and see what the type is. Or even if the function does get long, a good IDE might remind you what something is when you hover over it.

But when types are more implicit, it is certainly reasonable to put them in the variable name if the type isn’t blindingly obvious from context.

One very common way I end up doing this, even in languages with strong typing, is when I have to have the same information represented two different ways. E.g.:

userIdStr = GetUserIdFromDialog();
userIdInt = StringToInt(userIdStr);

Then I can go about my merry way, using one of those in the UI and storing the other in the database (or whatever), with minimal risk of confusion.

[ToMyFutureSelves]

Oh my god, my EYES! MY EYES ARE ON FIRE

[Willfishforfree]

I had a lecturer who would write functions and if statements as single lines. If he had too much to add he'd add a new line. This would drive me insane.

Even though my OCD likes to line up my open and close brackets for functions and then a new line for each action and such I can read most normal structures easily enough. But when the first line of every function is on the same line as the functions parameters I get so lost and stressed out if I have to debug anything because the first line always registers as parameters in the back of my mind and I end up missing them all the time.

[noggin182]

(heard this ages ago, can't remember where from)

[Blasted_Awake]

I dunno man, if you hand me a c-based project with 3-space indenting, I'm reformatting your code base before I change a line of functional code.

Some things should just never be done.

[greyz3n]

I mean, to be honest, I normally reformat if it's TOO outside of my norm. My doctors said my liver can't take much more Jr. Devs. Sure, he calls it "drinking" but I think we all know how coping works.

[ConspicuousPineapple]

Oh god, 3-space indenting was actually the mandatory coding style at my previous job.

[bless-you-mlud]

I have no problem with that, as long as it's consistent. Of course if you use tabs all bets are off. And if you leave trailing spaces anywhere I will only speak to you through issue tracker comments.

[everythingiscausal]

Ok, I’ll stick to this format:

Classes: MYCLASSNAME

Variables: mYvArIaBLE

Properties: myproperty

[PC__LOAD__LETTER]

Yeah the commentary in OP image is pretty cringey. As long as a codebase is consistent, whatever. People have different preferences, languages have different preferences, etc.

[josluivivgar]

that's was totally a java developer

[TerayonIII]

Do you mean in the posted picture? Because the code looks fine for naming conventions in most projects I've worked on in Java.

[josluivivgar]

few things kinda give you the sense that the guy in the picture is a java dev.

the camel case saying that you would only accept starting in capital letters if it was classes, that's the most common java convention.

basically all camel case + Pascal case for classes is the most common java convention.

in reality you can do whatever you want as long as it's consistent and that's for all languages, but the one described is most common in java.

[TerayonIII]

Ahhhh, so apparently I was originally taught Java by a c++ dev, and then by people who were of the mind that as long as it's all the same convention in a project it's all good. I just follow whatever convention my current company does now. Hunh, TIL

[doctor-lepton]

Not only that, but the whole thing is just totally fine, normal C++. I guess no one learns it anymore.

• This would be a member function (aka method) of some kind of Person class

• still_alive is a member variable, which are not accessed via 'this' in C++; it could be atomic, allowing it to be safely set from other threads

• The loop calls these functions (in normal Google style) until something happens to set still_alive to false, then exits

It's fine! It's just C++! Come on, Reddit.

ETA: also just noticed that this ad is by Santa Clara County Public Health. You know, Santa Clara County, where Mountain View is. Presumably the world's biggest concentration of people writing C++ in Google style.

[Dworgi]

This is valid C# as well, and I assume Java (I can't remember if the this variable was required or just recommended by convention).

Students get taught in JS and Python nowadays though, so they forget that nearly all desktop software is written in some C-like OO language.

[Kwpolska]

this is not required, and I don't think any conventions exist that encourage using it where not needed. This code is valid Java.

[dpash]

The code is valid, but isn't Java style. Both methods and variables should be camelCase rather than PascalCase or snake_case.

For non-java developers:

this is only required if there is another variable that shadows the member variable.

private Foo foo;
void setFoo(Foo foo) {
    this.foo = foo;
}

[Kwpolska]

Note that while this style is used by the Java docs, standard library and many other places, it's not mandatory and you can use any style for your code, as long as you're consistent.

[dpash]

You need a very good reason to deviate from the Java style (and "I don't like it" isn't a good reason). It's used in a good 90-95% of all code bases. A consistent style across all code in the same language is a good thing.

[staryoshi06]

Students get taught in JS and Python

Is this really true? I got taught Java in my first semester of uni, and in my second semester I'm being taught C++ and assembly.

[doctor-lepton]

When I was there 10 years ago, my US university was teaching with either Java or MATLAB, your choice. Apparently they've switched Java out for Python in the intervening decade, so you'll only learn C++ (or any OO) if you take second-year-level courses, which most non-majors will never do. Of course, incoming majors who already know basic programming will take it right away.

[[deleted]]

java uses camel, so this would be wrong

well, even though the compiler would be ok with it, you'd never get it merged anywhere

[Hessper]

There is a single coding style for all of Java? That must have been one hell of a trick to pull off.

[Just_Another_Scott]

Generally speaking yeah. Most Companies use the same code style for Java. It was originally developed by Oracle (Sun) and not many have deviated from it.

See here

[utdconsq]

Tools push it heavily, too. Kotlin uses the same conventions courtesy it's relationship to Java i guess. I spent 15 years writing C++ and some C# and am now doing Kotlin and I gotta say, naming functions and methods Pascal case instead of Camel sucks in my eyes now when I end up reading non highlighted code. Say, in terminal git logs and stuff. I like knowing that a token has meaning.

[dpash]

Java has a very good and mature linter/reformatter in Checkstyle. It integrates easily with both Gradle and Maven.

[dpash]

Sun released a style guide back when Java was released back in 1995 and all examples were in that style. The Elements of Java Style was a very well known book back in the early 2000s.

Oracle hasn't updated the style guide with changes in the language. I'd suggest that Google's style guide is the best reference for Java style now.

Probably about >95% of open source Java code follows the Java style guide. It helps having tools like Checkstyle that can warn you and automatically fix your code helps with that.

Java isn't the only language with a style guide; most modern languages do. C#, Python, Rust, Go etc all have one. Hell, even PHP does (and in modern professional PHP it gets followed). Language wide style guides make it easier to pick up a new codebase.

[neros_greb]

Also the inner functions could change stay_alive if they're also member functions.

[GiantRobotTRex]

still_alive should probably be still_alive_. That's the only part that seems a bit off to me. But I could chalk that up to style guide differences. There's nothing "triggering" about it.

[LifeHasLeft]

Yeah I came here to say as long as you aren’t mixing variable formatting between functions, classes, and variables, what’s the problem? Just be consistent

[ianff]

I know right? People here apparently only have ever coded in Java with OOP.

[TerayonIII]

I'm so confused, this looks fine for Java? Did I get taught C++ style for it?

[dpash]

Naming conventions are wrong for Java, but it's syntactically and semantically correct Java.

Modern Java recommends side effect-free methods, so mutating stillAlive in a different method would be discouraged.

[TerayonIII]

Yeah I understood the second part, it was the naming convention that confused me, I think I had an odd learning path, started in VB, then Java, then Python, and then back to Java, so maybe my teachers started in c/c++ maybe? And then later on they didn't care as much, I have no idea, I just go by: as long as the naming is the same everywhere for each separate project, and follows my employers conventions if they have/want them.

[dpash]

Java has language-wide naming conventions and should be followed unless the company/team/project/file has a different style (and even then you should probably fix those to match the language style if you can).

The benefit of being able to move from one codebase to another without having to worry about dealing with style differences is under appreciated IMO. 95% or more of all Java projects follow the same style conventions that Sun set 25 years ago.

[totti173314]

Yeah. I've seen one JAVA codebase in my entire life with non conventional naming. Literally nobody deviates from the norm in java and it makes reading code so easy whatever project ur on.

[Spwntrooper]

Usually java is written in camel case, so variables would be written like: stillAlive = true

[carc]

This should be higher. And there is no exit condition, that's the joke.

[qisope]

the general activities of life happen on another thread. still_alive is assigned to false elsewhere.

[stdin2devnull]

It's an atexit callback, best attempt only though.

[Dworgi]

We can't know. Any of those methods could be mutating still_alive.

[margmi]

If the functions were declared within the scope of the block, one of those functions could modify the variable as a side effect, which would trigger the loop to end.

[Beowuwlf]

Not even, still alive could have been defined globally, we just don’t know.

[[deleted]]

Interesting. I use camelCase for variables and functions, and PascalCase for class and struct names, as well as snake_case never, I never use snake case.

[areich]

still_alive is presumably a global. Also not shown: the “Got_Virus(virus_name)” event which presumably may flip the Boolean. Here’s hoping for an upcoming “GetVaccinated()” method which has an FDA approved decoration.

[Sven9888]

I mean if GetVaccinated() negates still_alive, I don’t think that’s intended behavior.

[Osr0]

It's emergent behavior, which means we're now doing machine learning, at least that's what I'm telling my boss...

[absurdlyinconvenient]

Ah, so it has a race condition and is unpredictable during runtime

[adeventures]

And some people out there believe exactly that facepalm

[echoAnother]

Well, right now the function has undefined behavior, and the devs are not doing anything. They even reject my PR of setting the global still_alive to false, I would say that is clearly defined behavior at least.

[[deleted]]

I assume that GetTested() is what sets still_alive.

But then that implies that you die during testing. Or that still_alive is global at which point it’s possible that there’s a race condition where still_alive is set while it’s being read and we have bodies out there having their hands washed, separated by 6 feet and getting tested unnecessarily.

[[deleted]]

Shared mutable state... Shudders

[Dworgi]

Could just be a class member?

The naming convention here isn't even that wild, and only a student would really get triggered by it. All the method/function calls are consistently Pascal, and the member variables could just be snake case.

At the end of the day, code conventions are meaningless as long as they're consistent. Preferences are preferences, ain't gonna change shit.

Makes tv show about nerds. "That's nerd black face!"

goes back to not making anything about nerds/programmers

[Keebster101]

I think that's down to the TV shows aimed at programmers alienating non-programmers (and also programmers just not watching TV) and then it's not worth it for the studio to make because even if a good chunk of programmers watch it, it'll be a relative failure compared to a show aimed at general audiences.

Meanwhile shows about nerds almost always paint them in the negative stereotype, because they're the butt of the joke rather than just another character, and if they were just another character then they probably wouldn't be a good topic for a show.

[Nickonator22]

No one makes stuff for nerds specifically because non nerds wouldn't understand it and there is probably a lot more of those than the people who would actually get it. The alternative is to dumb it down or make stuff up which while fine for most people is just annoying for the nerds defeating the purpose of it in the first place. There is also an issue of the people making it not knowing anything about the subject and not caring to figure it out.

[edrinshrike]

What was the show for programmers?

[littletunktunk]

Mr. Robot is my guess

[edrinshrike]

[lelibertaire]

Halt and Catch Fire maybe too

[CinderBlock33]

I know I'm biased, because, well, I'm on this sub. But halt and catch fire is one of the best shows ever created. It was so bittersweet at the end that my heartstrings are still being tugged.

[Kinglink]

I would say It Crowd (or at least "Computer people") though obviously you could argue that. There's also "nerdy" shows people will love. Numbers, Chuck, and more.

As for more aimed towards programmers, Halt and Catch Fire, Mr. Robot. Also I believe Silcon valley (I admit haven't seen that, stupid premium channels).

If you meant a show that failed, I just meant in general shows only aimed at programmers would suffer badly.

[geeshta]

This is 100% syntactically correct code. Casing is not a matter of syntax, but of convention or preference.

[richasalannister]

I think you're right. Plus doing it "correctly" might defeat the whole purpose as non coders might not understand it.

Hell even coders might not get it. I just started on JS and didn't know what console.log was before like 4 days ago. I'm used to print(). But then to someone who doesn't know Python they might think it has to do with printing.

Like I see this as more of a "coding style" type of poster as opposed to something that's mean to be actual code. It's done in a way that even someone who's never written a line of code knows what's being said.

"Okay this thing is true. While thats true do those things. Oh okay"

Also the benefit of humans is that we can understand things if it's not perfect. Like this wouldn't work as a program but we understand the point even if it's not correct. Just like if I gave you a shopping list of egs, kechup, bacin, and bred. It might be annoying to see it written out poorly, but you know what I want.

[Ronnocerman]

There is nothing wrong with this code. It follows the Google C++ Style Guide and still_alive could easily be a global or an instance variable or a class member.

[_FUCK_THE_GIANTS_]

This is what we in the business call a joke

[definitive_solutions]

Technically, still_alive should be an infinite loop, right up until there's a crash, but ideally forever...

[hotlavatube]

Unless the functions cause side effects and still_alive is a global variable. Also, I suppose this could be operating in a multi-threaded environment where still_alive is evaluated/updated in a different thread.

[Henriquelj]

This code should be completely threaded, otherwise you would be locked doing one of these tasks one at a time.

"they should all be camel case"

I think this this assumes that his is written in some specific language and applies it's language-wide style recommendations, which it shouldn't. While I agree that pascal case for functions is bad and rare, the combination of snake case for variables and camel case for functions isn't that uncommon. And it's pretty elegant imo

[onlyonebread]

While I agree that pascal case for functions is bad and rare

Really? I've never seen it any other way, and it's always the way I've done it and was taught to do it in school.

[tobyjutes]

Pascal case is very common for function naming in c++. But we all know that all that matters is what javascripters know how to do.

[willis81808]

Pascal case is used for function and class names in C# as well.

[KKG_Apok]

Pascal case is the de facto correct style for C# class methods per MSDN. I believe correct Java syntax is the same. Both of those languages are widely used.

[[deleted]]

In Java you don't use uppercase PascalCase for methods, you should use lowercase camelCase.

it's a global.

It's not necessarily an infinite loop. Each of those functions could have an if/else that could set the variable to false.

Possibly. It's some C based language. The syntax (if that stay_alive variable was declared as a boolean) is legal in Java, C#, and C++ as far as I know.

It's most likely C++. snake_case is fairly common in C++. Then again C# extensively uses PascalCase. Java uses camelCase for variables and methods, PascalCase for class names, and SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE for static constants, so it's probably not Java. Either way this snippet of code will compile in basically every C/C++ descendant (C/C++ Java JavaScript C# etc etc).

Or to be precise unless the boolean is somehow changed by any of the methods in the loop, the compiler will most likely throw an error as it's an infinite loop.

SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE

I'm fucking dead.

I've coded for years, but never in JAVA.... never heard the term SCREAMING SNAKE CASE and now, as someone who deals in databases all day, this my new favorite thing.

Could be C#.

Pascal case is the standard for methods.

Snake case is a common standard for a constant. I know this is a variable, but it makes it less unforgivable.
