Hello all my fellow developers out there!
This is a short little presentation on how to write cleaner, better code.
I enjoyed it and thought you would as well.

Yeah I always thought most of this was common sense until I had to review other people’s code.

My best tip for clean coding is to put units in variable names. Don’t just call it “length”, call it “length_mm”. This saves masses of confusion, especially when you need to maintain it in 5 years time.

that’s a good suggestion.

Another good one is to use the const keyword often in C/C++.
For example, if you have a function that takes a pointer, it could update what that pointer points to. If you make it a pointer to a const it can’t change anything, and the person calling that function can clearly see that it won’t.
This can also help the compiler optimize your code.
