JavaClean code

This practice aims to ensure consistency and readability in code by adhering to standard Java naming conventions. Following these conventions helps in maintaining the code and facilitates collaboration among developers.

1.Class Names PascalCase: Class names should be written in PascalCase, where each word starts with a capital letter.

2.Variable and Method Names camelCase: Variable and method names should be written in camelCase, where the first word starts with a lowercase letter and each subsequent word starts with a capital letter.

3.Use Meaningful and Descriptive Names Names should be meaningful and descriptive, clearly indicating the purpose of the class, method, or variable.

Why Follow These Conventions? Readability: Well-named code is easier to read and understand. Maintainability: Consistent naming conventions make the code easier to maintain and refactor. Industry Standards: Following recognized conventions allows developers to collaborate more effectively.

Examples

Example 1:

Positive

Correct implementation following the practice.

package org.main;

public class OrderProcessor {
	
	private int orderId;
	private String customerName;

	public int getOrderId() {
		return orderId;
	}

	public void setOrderId(int orderId) {
		this.orderId = orderId;
	}

	public String getCustomerName() {
		return customerName;
	}

	public void setCustomerName(String customerName) {
		this.customerName = customerName;
	}

	public void processOrder() {
		// Code pour traiter la commande
	}

Negative

Incorrect implementation that violates the practice.

package org.main;

public class orderProcessor {

	private int OrderId;
	private String customerName;

	public int getOrderId() {
		return orderId;
	}

	public void setOrderId(int orderId) {
		this.orderId = orderId;
	}

	public String getCustomerName() {
		return customerName;
	}

	public void setCustomerName(String customerName) {
		this.customerName = customerName;
	}

	public void processOrder() {
		// Code pour traiter la commande
	}
