\section{Convention to code}

\textbf{Gereralities}
\begin{itemize}
\item The software is totally written using C++ language.
\item Source files must be named \textit{*.cpp} and headers \textit{*.hpp}
\item Code must have commentaries in order to create automatically documentation using the \textit{Doxygen} tool.
\item The indentation is 4 spaces.
\item Directories are organized using modules.
\end{itemize}

\textbf{Variables}
\begin{itemize}
\item Variables' names only contain letters and numbers. Letters belong to [a-z] and [0-9], excluding [A-Z].\textit{eg : temp, size2}
\item If a variable is composed of more than one word, then words must be separated with the \textbf{underscore symbol}, and all the letters are in [a-z][0-9] as said above. \textit{eg : number\_of\_item, size\_of\_window, ...}
\item Boolean variables must have a name that remain their functionality, so their names must start with the prefix \textit{is\_} or \textit{has\_}. \textit{eg : is\_enabled}
\item Attributes of classes or structures must begin with the symbol \textbf{underscore}.\textit{eg : \_name, \_is\_enabled, \_width}
\end{itemize}

\textbf{Constants}
\begin{itemize}
\item Constants are written using only [A-Z] and [0-9].
\item If a constant is composed by more than one word, then they must be, as for variables, separated using the \textbf{underscore} symbol.
\end{itemize}

\textbf{Functions and methods}
\begin{itemize}
\item Functions' names only contain letters and numbers. Letters belong to [a-z] and [0-9], excluding [A-Z].\textit{eg : set\_width(), get\_size()}
\item The names of the functions must always contain an action verb.
\item Accessors must start with the \textit{get\_} verb followed by the nature of the object returned. \textit{eg : get\_length(), get\_value()}
\item Mutators must start with the \textit{set\_} verb followed by the field modificated.\textit{eg : set\_size(), set\_value()}
\item Functions which return a boolean must start with \textit{is\_}.
\item Each opening of bloc must be on the same line as the prototype of the function, the condition, whereas the end must be on a new line.

Eg~:
\begin{verbatim}if(bool) {
}
else {
}
\end{verbatim}

\end{itemize}
\textbf{Classes}
\begin{itemize}
\item The names of the classes must begin with an upper-case letter followed with only lower-case.
\end{itemize}

\textbf{.cpp files}
\begin{itemize}
\item Namespaces are declared in the \textit{.cpp} and not in the \textit{.hpp} file.
\item For classes, each \textit{.cpp} file corresponds to a \textit{.hpp} file, with exactly the same name. Headers are included in the \textit{.cpp} files.
\item The file contains the implementation of all the functions declared in the \textit{.hpp} file (unless virtual functions).
\end{itemize}

\textbf{.hpp files}
\begin{itemize}
\item Classes are defined within a \textit{.hpp} file of same name, no function is implemented within (unless templates).
\item The file begins with a \textit{\#ifndef} instruction followed by \textit{CLASS\_NAME\_HPP}
\item Then a \textit{\#define} instruction followed by \textit{CLASS\_NAME\_HPP} as above.
\item It is preferable to put includes in the \textit{.cpp} tather than in the \textit{.hpp}
\item Classes begin with the declarations of the variables, followed by the constructors and the destructor, and finally the declarations of the methods.
\item The \textit{private} keyword must clearly be written such as \textit{public}.
\item The file must end by the \textit{\#endif} instruction.
\end{itemize}
