This
appendix is not about indenting and placement of parentheses and curly braces,
although that will be mentioned. This is about the general guidelines used in
this book for organizing the code listings.
Although
many of these issues have been introduced throughout the book, this appendix
appears at the end so it can be assumed that every topic is fair game, and if
you don’t understand something you can look it up in the appropriate
section.
All
the decisions about coding style in this book have been deliberately made and
considered, sometimes over a period of years. Of course, everyone has their
reasons for organizing code the way they do, and I’m just trying to tell
you how I arrived at mine and the constraints and environmental factors that
brought me to those decisions.
