- Let's Write a Program (class input)
Requirements:
- Use functions
- Have functions use functions
- Minimize repetition
- Some kind of "graphic" output
- E.g., multi story building
Questions:
- Do we need prototype statements?
- What language features could we use?
- More on Style
- Indenting
- Braces on separate lines
- Good Identifiers
- Identifiers/Syntax
- letters, digits, underscore
- do not start with digit
- case sensitive
- arbitrary length
- do not use reserved words
- Identifiers/Style
- meaningful identifiers
- user defined functions & types start: uppercase
- parameters or variables start: lowercase
- constants (later): all uppercase
- use uppercase to start multi-part words (not _)
