Code style standard

The Code style development standard in a general sense represents recommendations and conventions about the style of code used.

As a rule, each programming language has its own generally accepted standards for code formatting. These standards usually regulate the placement of spaces, brackets, and the style of writing variable and function names: camelCase, snake_case, kebab-case, PascalCase.

Adhering to coding standards is important for a number of reasons:

• Often in the work process, reading the code prevails over writing it. Before finishing the code or correcting an error, you need to read a large array of previously written lines. And here a unified code style is of great importance, which will speed up the execution of this task.
• Writing and maintaining code is the foundation of any software development, accounting for about two-thirds of the total budget.
• In most cases, the code is written not by one person, but by a whole team. Moreover, situations often arise when it is necessary to change or supplement the code written by another person.
