Best Programming Practice

1.​ All values as variables including Fixed, User Inputs, and Results
2.​ Avoid Hard Coding of variables wherever possible
3.​ Proper naming conventions for all variables
String name = "Eric";
double height = [Link]();
double totalDistance = distanceFromToVia + distanceViaToFinalCity;
4.​ Proper Program Name and Class Name
5.​ Follow proper indentation

1.​ Sample Program 1 - Write a program to display Sam with Roll Number 1, Percent Marks
99.99, and the result ‘P’ indicates Pass(‘P’) or Fail (‘F’).
IMP => Follow Good Programming Practice demonstrated below in all Practice Programs

Java
// Creating Class with name DisplayResult indicating the purpose is to display
// result. Notice the class name is a Noun.
class DisplayResult {
public static void main(String[] args) {

// Create a string variable name and assign value Sam

String name = "Sam";

// Create a int variable rollNumber and assign value 1

int rollNumber = 1;

// Create a double variable percentMarks and assign value 99.99

double percentMarks = 99.99;

// Create a char variable result and assign value 'P' for pass
char result = 'P';

// Display the result

[Link]("Displaying Result:\n" +name+ " with Roll Number " +
rollNumber+ " has Scored " +percentMarks+
"% Marks and Result is " +result);
}
}

2.​ Sample Program 2 - Eric Travels from Chennai to Bangalore via Vellore. From Chennai to
Vellore distance is 156.6 km and the time taken is 4 Hours and 4 Mins and from Vellore to
Bangalore is 211.8 km and will take 4 Hours and 25 Mins. Compute the total distance and
total time from Chennai to Bangalore

Java
// Create TravelComputation Class to compute the Distance and Travel Time

class TravelComputation {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Create a variable name to indicate the person traveling

String name = "Eric";

// Create a variable fromCity, viaCity and toCity to indicate the city

// from city, via city and to city the person is travelling
String fromCity = "Chennai", viaCity = "Velore", toCity = "Bangalore";

// Create a variable distanceFromToVia to indicate the distance

// between the fromCity to viaCity
double distanceFromToVia = 156.6;

// Create a variable timeFromToVia to indicate the time taken to

// travel from fromCity to viaCity in minutes
int timeFromToVia = 4 * 60 + 4;

// Create a variable distanceViaToFinalCity to indicate the distance

// between the viaCity to toCity
double distanceViaToFinalCity = 211.8;

// Create a variable timeViaToFinalCity to indicate the time taken to

// travel from viaCity to toCity in minutes
int timeViaToFinalCity = 4 * 60 + 25;

// Create a variable totalDistance to indicate the total distance

// between the fromCity to toCity
double totalDistance = distanceFromToVia + distanceViaToFinalCity;

// Create a variable totalTime to indicate the total time taken to

// travel from fromCity to toCity in minutes
int totalTime = timeFromToVia + timeViaToFinalCity;

2
 // Print the travel details
[Link]("The Total Distance travelled by " + name + " from " +
fromCity + " to " + toCity + " via " + viaCity +
" is " + totalDistance + " km and " +
"the Total Time taken is " + totalTime + " minutes");
}
}
