Software programmers are highly recommended to follow these guidelines to help improve the [[readability]] of their [[source code]] and make [[software maintenance]] easier.<br /> <br /> Coding conventions are only applicable to the human maintainers and peer reviewers of a software project.<br /> <br /> Conventions may be formalized in a documented set of rules that an entire team or company follows, or may be as informal as the habitual coding practices of an individual.<br /> <br /> Coding conventions are not enforced by [[Compiler|compilers]].<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Comparison of programming languages (syntax)]]<br /> * [[Hungarian Notation]]<br /> * [[Indent style]]<br /> * [[List of tools for static code analysis]]<br /> * [[MISRA C]]<br /> * [[Naming convention]]<br /> * [[Naming convention (programming)]]<br /> * [[Programming style]]<br /> * [[Readability]]<br /> * [[Software maintenance]]<br /> * [[Source code]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coding_conventions Coding conventions] @ Wikipedia<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Computer programming]]</div>
