Meaningful identifier names | To allow others to understand more easily the purpose and scope of variables. Also applies to names of functions/procedures. |
Use of constants | For values which do not change e.g. VAT_RATE is easier to understand in an expression rather than 1.2. |
Indentation | Moving lines of code (to the right) to show clearly where structures start and end. E.g. typically loops/selection. |
Modular code | Each subroutine does a small part rather than one big program. Easier to identify where something is not working and debug. |
Annotate code / Comments | Adding comments to code that are not used by the computer so that others can understand the steps of the algorithm. |
Use of white space | To break code further into logical chunks e.g. separate declarations from statements. |
Complex calculations | Use extra brackets (parentheses), break up into individual steps in order to make it easier to understand. |
Reasons for GPS | Teams can work collaboratively. Code can easily be read by other programmers. Program is less error prone. |
