Appendix F Program Style, Formatting, and Documentation |

Throughout this text we encourage the use of good programming style and documentation. Although the programs you write for class assignments may not be looked at by anyone except the person grading your work, outside of class you will write programs that will be used by others. |

Useful programs have very long lifetimes, during which they must be modified and updated. When maintenance work must be done, either you or another programmer will have to do it. Good style and documentation are essential if another programmer is to understand and work with your program. You also will discover that, after not working with your own program for a few months, you'll be amazed at how many of the details you've forgotten. |
