Re: Coding conventions

Coding conventions are a dime a dozen. do we use K&R style with opening braces on the same line as the conditional? Do we use UpperCase to seperate words in variables or underscores? 5 space tabs, 8 space tabs, no tabs? Do we prefix variables with the type?

Coding conventions in a team are very valuable. However, it will never work on a massive scale like chiefdelphi. It should be fine as long as your code doesn't look like this:http://www1.us.ioccc.org/2001/bellard.c. I do like your suggestions, though.

In fact, I would rather that the person asking the question take the extra 5 minutes to figure out what is happening then the person helping taking the extra 5 minutes to make their code look nice. But that's just me.
