25.18 Style: Making functions readable

Be consistent in your naming and coding of functions

Names:

• Functions should be verbs (action, state, or occurrence), arguments should be nouns (people places or things).

• Be consistent in using snake_case or camelCase.

• For sets of functions, use a common prefix

• Don’t overwrite existing function

Comments:

• Use comments to explain the ‘why’ of the code

• Use lines of - or = to break up code into sections
