I was taught to do 3 spaces�01[19:11] <@acchung1> spacing as in indent�01[19:13] <@acchung1> who else are we missing?[19:13] <@sinker> i prefer the second way too but fardad's function names use underscores, so do you want to use underscores for functions and the other way for variables?�01[19:13] <@acchung1> hm�01[19:14] <@acchung1> Sure, I don't have any problem with that�01[19:14] <@acchung1> Function: This_Function�01[19:14] <@acchung1> Variable: thisVariable�01[19:14] <@acchung1> like that right?[19:14] <@sinker> yeah but all lowercase for the functions�01[19:15] <@acchung1> ah all lowercase�01[19:15] <@acchung1> k[19:15] <danapao> ok�01[19:15] <@acchung1> i have no problem with that[19:15] <@sinker> that way we can easily identify a function vs. a variable name[19:15] <danapao> true[19:16] <@sinker> some_function and someVariable�01[19:16] <@acchung1> alright[19:18] <danapao> k�01[19:18] <@acchung1> so all variables are the same or should we do something different with public and private variables?[19:19] <@sinker> all the same would be simpler�01[19:19] <@acchung1> alright[19:19] <danapao> agree�01[19:21] <@acchung1> alright how about indenting?�01[19:21] <@acchung1> i usually use 3 spaces[19:22] <@sinker> i'm ok with 3[19:22] <danapao> im ok with 3�01[19:22] <@acchung1> alright[19:23] <danapao> did u guys got ur accounts?[19:23] <@sinker> no�01[19:23] <@acchung1> nope[19:24] <danapao> ok�01[19:24] <@acchung1> robin is on�01[19:24] <@acchung1> how about commenting?�03[19:25] * imadorki3 (~androirc@24.114.232.38) has joined #team-nothing�01[19:25] <@acchung1> hi[19:25] <imadorki3> hii[19:26] <imadorki3> is he going to be on?�01[19:26] <@acchung1> so basically since fardad isn't here, we are discussing about the rules and conventions we will be using when we are coding�01[19:26] <@acchung1> doubt it�01[19:26] <@acchung1> but we are using this time to do the rules and conventions[19:26] <imadorki3> this is lame! blahh..�01[19:26] <@acchung1> lol�01[19:27] <@acchung1> well we need to do this before we start working on the project, the sooner we have it done the better[19:27] <imadorki3> ohhkay sounds good�01[19:27] <@acchung1> so basically�01[19:27] <@acchung1> we did some stuff[19:27] <@sinker> imadorki3: do you want to discuss how to bake a cake? :)�01[19:27] <@acchung1> lol[19:28] <imadorki3> I think ill pass with the cake baking lol�01[19:28] <@acchung1> Function Naming Convention: int function_name()�01[19:28] <@acchung1> imadorki3: any problems with that?[19:29] <imadorki3> nopee�01[19:29] <@acchung1> ok�01[19:29] <@acchung1> for variable we did�01[19:29] <@acchung1> variableName�01[19:29] <@acchung1> and each variable will be on it's own line�01[19:29] <@acchung1> int a;�01[19:29] <@acchung1> int b;�01[19:29] <@acchung1> indentation wise, we said we are going to use 3 spaces�01[19:30] <@acchung1> any objections?[19:30] <imadorki3> sounds good so far: )�01[19:30] <@acchung1> okay[19:30] <@sinker> or just var if it's a simple variable name like cat or dog�01[19:30] <@acchung1> yep[19:31] <@sinker> varName for compound variable names[19:31] <imadorki3> yessirs!�01[19:31] <@acchung1> k�01[19:31] <@acchung1> so on to commenting�01[19:32] <@acchung1> the file heading[19:33] <imadorki3> what format do you guys want to use?�01[19:33] <@acchung1> I usually do this�01[19:33] <@acchung1> * File

<danapao_> i got kick out�01[19:33] <@acchung1> nice�01[19:33] <@acchung1> you're still here for me�03[19:34] * Retrieving #team-nothing modes...�03[19:34] * acchung1 sets mode: +t-n�01[19:34] <@acchung1> What was that site that fardad used for copy and paste?[19:35] <@sinker> pastebin.com[19:35] <imadorki3> what about individual comments per function?�01[19:35] <@acchung1> thanks[19:35] <imadorki3> that's a good idea, I'm not takibg note of this: )�01[19:35] <@acchung1> http://pastebin.com/Ns3REB7p�01[19:36] <@acchung1> don't worry i am�01[19:36] <@acchung1> i got the chat log and i'm doing the wiki as we are agreeing on things�02[19:36] * danapao (~chatzilla@CPE001cf0f6cc86-CM0011ae9081e8.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds�)�03[19:36] * danapao_ is now known as danapao[19:36] <@sinker> that looks ok for file headers[19:37] <imadorki3> kayyy cause I'm on irc on my phone :S[19:37] <imadorki3> agreed�01[19:37] <@acchung1> http://pastebin.com/NTSfJTgx for each function[19:37] <danapao> my irc server is acting weird�01[19:37] <@acchung1> i don't think we should comment each line, instead we should just comment the function[19:38] <imadorki3> yeahh agreed�01[19:38] <@acchung1> because i think we should more or less understand the lines if we know what the function does[19:38] <imadorki3> that's what I did[19:38] <danapao> k agree�01[19:38] <@acchung1> k�01[19:38] <@acchung1> kerry?�01[19:38] <@acchung1> er�01[19:38] <@acchung1> sinker?�01[19:38] <@acchung1> sinker: any problems?[19:38] <@sinker> agree�01[19:39] <@acchung1> k[19:39] <danapao> so thats it?�01[19:39] <@acchung1> one more that i can think of[19:39] <@sinker> I suggest comments to describe functions and purpose of variable�01[19:40] <@acchung1> purpose of variable?�01[19:40] <@acchung1> ex?[19:41] <@sinker> what the variable will be used for or what it will contain[19:41] <@sinker> i don't mean the type[19:42] <imadorki3> I think that having the purpose of each function is good enough, as well, following the purpose of te fuction rhere should be a list of variables used within that function[19:42] <@sinker> in the comments?�01[19:42] <@acchung1> sinker: I get what you mean... but do we put the meaning of the variable comment beside the variables or in the commenting block of each function?[19:42] <imadorki3> eg. function name[19:43] <imadorki3> purpose�01[19:43] <@acchung1> so in the purpose[19:43] <imadorki3> variables in function�01[19:43] <@acchung1> AH[19:43] <imadorki3> purpose[19:43] <imadorki3> yeah[19:43] <imadorki3> function comment block�01[19:43] <@acchung1> ok�01[19:44] <@acchung1> http://pastebin.com/L2vvT8Bm[19:44] <@sinker> ok we can state the purpose of the variable as we name them in the function comments�01[19:44] <@acchung1> something like that?�01[19:44] <@acchung1> http://pastebin.com/vFGUw0PH[19:44] <@sinker> yeah, ok�01[19:44] <@acchung1> ?[19:45] <danapao> yep[19:45] <imadorki3> sorry guys I'm typing on my phone and ny thumbsare starting to hurt[19:46] <@sinker> how about this style for braces { } http://pastebin.com/fCrsvVzS[19:46] <imadorki3> I can't see the link[19:46] <imadorki3> or rather I can't click on the links�01[19:46] <@acchung1> lol[19:46] <@sinker> imadorki3: lol�01[19:46] <@acchung1> Look on the wiki�01[19:46] <@acchung1> i'll save it now[19:46] <imadorki3> I canttttt[19:47] <imadorki3> I'm on my phone I can't go on lol�01[19:47] <@acchung1> lol[19:47] <@sinker> imadorki3: look later :)�01[19:47] <@acchung1> well check later�01[19:47] <@acchung1> yep[19:47] <imadorki3> okayyy sounds good�01[19:47] <@acchung1> Sinker: I actually prefer something different[19:47] <imadorki3> what else is there...hmm�01[19:48] <@acchung1> http://pastebin.com/qQYFa8cA�01[19:48] <@acchung1> i prefer that�01[19:48] <@acchung1> so it is easier to see when it opens and closes�01[19:48] <@acchung1> also so that we won't "miss" a brace[19:48] <danapao> good idea[19:49] <@sinker> acchung1: ok, that's true about keeping track of open and close[19:49] <danapao> is there anything else because i g2g in a few mins?�01[19:50] <@acchung1> hm�01[19:50] <@acchung1> if it is 1 line should we use the {}?�01[19:50] <@acchung1> always use it is my answer but i want to see what you guys think[19:51] <@sinker> i'm having second thoughts about the var naming. should we keep it similar to the function naming?[19:52] <imadorki3> I like to use the braces regardless, its just easier to read I think..�01[19:52] <@acchung1> ookay[19:52] <@sinker> acchung1: for one line you don't really need it but we can use them just in case more code gets added later...�01[19:52] <@acchung1> so always use it[19:53] <@sinker> that way they don't get forgotten�01[19:53] <@acchung1> okay�01[19:53] <@acchung1> and i don't mind for the variables�01[19:53] <@acchung1> either way is fine[19:54] <@sinker> ok let's do it similar to the functions so our code looks cleaner and more consistent�01[19:54] <@acchung1> alright�01[19:54] <@acchung1> any objections?[19:54] <danapao> nope[19:55] <imadorki3> yes[19:55] <imadorki3> no I'm joking[19:55] <@sinker> one other thing..[19:55] <imadorki3> lol[19:55] <imadorki3> yess?[19:55] <@sinker> naming for conditional comolation[19:55] <@sinker> compilation�01[19:56] <@acchung1> ?[19:56] <imadorki3> I'm just as confused lol.[19:56] <@sinker> in the course notes they give an example: #define _abc_h_[19:57] <danapao> whats that?�01[19:57] <@acchung1> the thing fardad did?�01[19:57] <@acchung1> i think i'm getting sick lol[19:57] <@sinker> yeah�01[19:57] <@acchung1> freezing, brb[19:57] <@sinker> we can talk about that one later[19:57] <danapao> o that #ifndef _HEADER_H[19:58] <danapao> then blah[19:58] <danapao> i google it to find out what u mean[19:58] <@sinker> yeah, to make it something unique�01[19:58] <@acchung1> lol[19:58] <imadorki3> how did you want to name it?[19:58] <@sinker> see page 11 in the notes if you have them�01[19:58] <@acchung1> i like the _header_h[19:59] <imadorki3> ill check it out later I guess[19:59] <danapao> lol[19:59] <imadorki3> :)�01[19:59] <@acchung1> lol�01[19:59] <@acchung1> should i register this channel?[19:59] <@sinker> i was thinking of using our team initials in it somehow to make it unique�01[19:59] <@acchung1> _tn_header_h�01[19:59] <@acchung1> ?[19:59] <danapao> yeah[20:00] <danapao> thats a good idea�01[20:00] <@acchung1> or _TN_header_h�01[20:00] <@acchung1> or all caps[20:00] <@sinker> yeah but with an
