Re: Coding conventions
I agree- an 8-space tab is simply uncalled for. Conventions are absolutely needed within a team- especially because most teams have more than one programmer. And even if you do only have one programmer, what happens when he/she gets the flu four days before shipping and the mentor has to figure it all out? On the other hand, a FIRST-wide convention is almost impossible. Even if you examine the default code, you find sections of
ThisIsAFunction() {
}
and sections of
ThisIsDifferent()
{
}
and so on. I was going to suggest to my team that we follow the default code's conventions, but it seems to fluctuate. This is an issue that will have to be worked out by each team individually.
