- Visualize concepts when possible.
- Helps to understand where the information is going and what is happening
- Modular code to easily understand the separate parts.
- Break things into smaller functions, assign a single task to each function.
- Clear variable names, especially loop variables.
- Example: Instead of i,j for a matrix, use iRow, jCol
- Now you at least have some sort of idea what each loop variable is.
- Unit Testing
- Modular code allows you to test each code component separately in order to ensure that the behavior of each function is what you expect.
