Thread: Patterns of writing CODES

Hi !
when I code I see that my code looks messy and not organized , I mean it's vision of writing isn't convenient to whom reads my code, for example I've seen some codes following this pattern of writing variables sumSize and other patterns, where can I find like those patterns of coding to get my code looks fine and not messy ?

I tried to search on google didn't find, maybe I'm not using the correct "term" for searching on that subject on google?

thanks alot

Depending on your experience with C, this might help...

Go to here and look at the "Patterns in C" section at the bottom.

Another good place to start for some solutions (like a microcontoller controlling a vending machine) is by using a state machine. The "poor man's version" is using a switch statement, and is fine for lots of small control programmes... You can then use multiple switch statements and implement your own cooperative multitasking system.

The thing that you need to remember when you do this is to not use blocking code... i.e.

Code:

while(i!=someNumber) 
{
  Blah... 
}

becomes...

Code:

switch(state) 
{
 ... 
  case state1:
    someNumber = 123;
    i=0;
    state = state2;
    break;

  case state2:
    Blah... 
    if (i==someNumber) 
      state=state3;

    break;

 ... 
}

... The idea is that after each "Blah" you can have other state machines doing separate tasks.


There are heaps of solutions for different problems, and better ways to implement a state machines
