For readability, programs should follow a standard layout:<\/p>\n
imports\nconstants\nrecord\/object definitions\nsubprograms\nmain program<\/pre>\nNaming Conventions<\/h1>\n
Proper use of capitalisation and plurals makes lines like this readable:<\/p>\n
students = [Student() for student in range(STUDENTS)]<\/pre>\nCapital and small letters<\/h2>\n
Constants should be in full capitals:<\/p>\n
NUMBER_OF_STUDENTS = 20<\/pre>\nAll variables and subprogram names should be in either camelCase<\/em> or snake_case.
\n<\/em>Be consistent – use one or the other, but not both:<\/p>\nstudentName = \"fred\"\nstudent_name = \"fred\"<\/pre>\nRecord definitions should be in PascalCase<\/em>:<\/p>\n
@dataclass\nclass SchoolPupil:<\/pre>\nSingular and Plural Names<\/h2>\n
Variables that store a single value should use singular names:<\/p>\n
