Coding Style

Common Hungarian Notation Prefixes

Prefixes are often combined to form other prefixes, as when p and sz are joined to form psz, which stands for "pointer to zero-terminated string."

(See Example Below)

int nCount = 45 ;
char szUserName[20];
char* pszUserName[20];
char cLetter = 'a' ;

Prefix Data Type
b BOOL
c or ch char
clr COLORREF
cx, cy Horizontal or vertical distance
dw DWORD
h Handle
l LONG
n int
p Pointer
sz Zero-terminated string
w WORD
f float


File names

to use cpp for implementation files and h for header files.
Note that when including Standard C++ header files,
the option of having no file name extension is used,
i.e.: #include <iostream>.

Parentheses, braces, and indentation

the opening brace should always go on the same line as the “precursor” (by which I mean “whatever the body is about: a class, function, object definition, if statement, etc.”). This is a single, consistent rule I apply to all of the code I write, and it makes formatting much simpler. It makes the “scannability” easier – when you look at this line:


int func(int a);

you know, by the semicolon at the end of the line, that this is a declaration and it goes no further, but when you see the line:


int func(int a) {

you immediately know it’s a definition because the line finishes with an opening brace, not a semicolon. By using this approach, there’s no difference in where you place the opening parenthesis for a multi-line definition:


int func(int a) { int b = a + 1; return b * 2; }

and for a single-line definition that is often used for inlines:


int func(int a) { return (a + 1) * 2; }

Placing the ‘{‘ on the next line eliminates some confusing code in complex conditionals, aiding in the scannability. Example:


if(cond1
&& cond2
&& cond3) {
statement;
}

The above has poor scannability. However,


if (cond1
&& cond2
&& cond3)
{
statement;
}
