To do this we’ve modified certain important aspects of the Google Style Guide. This is a living document and will likely change as new issues arise.

When contributing to the homework server keep the following guidelines in mind.

General Rules

• Code should never be more than 80 characters per line

Header Files

• Header files should have #define guards
• Only fully define a function in the class prototype if the code for the function is one line.
• C++ code can be written below the class prototype in the header file

Commenting

• Declaration comments describe use of the function; comments at the definition of a function describe its operation.
• Non-function/non-class comments that describe some functionality of a block of code should be less than 60 characters

Naming

Class Names

Type or class names should begin with a capital letter and have every word after begin with a capital letter (camel casing).

class MyClassName {...}

Function Names

All functions should be camel cased with the first letter being lowercase.

void getJesseSushi();

Variable Names

All variables should be lower case with underscores

int cats_in_house = 0;
