I think that is an interesting point, it made me think a bit. Thanks for sparking my thinking cap. Sometimes I get so much in a rut that I just feel like a record.

Hi,
Concerning bullet 11 in the “STANDARDS” section above. The asterisk isn’t a type qualifier, like for example const and volatile, but rather a type specifier. And I disagree with where the asterisk _should_ be placed. Common convention is to place the asterisk with the variable name, but that always seemed strange to me since it’s the combining of the primitive type with the asterisk that creates the pointer type. To my crazy brain, separating the asterisk from the primitive type is no different from pulling the ‘r’ off the end of ‘char’ and pre-pending it to the variable being defined. Yeah, sounds crazy… Also, IMHO, defining multiple (uninitialized) variables on the same line is bad practice. The argument for saving screen real estate these days is debatable. Fortunately, the company I work for feels the same way as myself and it’s not allowed.

Hi Debesh,
NIce article.I hope this article is as much useful for starters as it is for avid coders like you.
One suggestion: it would be helpful if you can give a sample program which has been coded as per the BEST PRACTICES.Then explain ur best practices tips by pointing to that part of code which you want to explain.From my experience, a digramatic representation lives long in the memory and is easier to understand than just a theoritical summary.
P.S: A sugestion only meant for understanding of laymans like me.Not for developers like you.
