+ | ======Good Coding Practices====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here are some useful links and thoughts, please READ THEM before you start programming! | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Use semantic variable names | ||
+ | - Annotate your code with lots of comments for ease of readability | ||
+ | - Scalable code -- avoid repetitive motifs as far as possible | ||
+ | - For loops are time-consuming in Matlab. Use vector/matrix manipulations as far as possible | ||
+ | - Matlab is very forgiving about vector/matrix sizes. Often, variable sizes are expanded "automatically" depending on the context. This means you need to be very careful when assigning and reusing variables | ||
+ | - See this for some do's and dont's: [[http://blogs.mathworks.com/loren/2012/01/13/best-practices-for-programming-matlab/|here]], [[http://blogs.mathworks.com/loren/2006/04/12/matlab-programming-practices/|here]], [[http://blogs.mathworks.com/videos/2010/03/08/top-10-matlab-code-practices-that-make-me-cry/|Matlab coding practices that make me cry!]]. | ||
