#14327 - RE: use of flag |
You can use this flag named "My_Flag" in the code.
In my opinion, naming flags such as "xxx_Flag" is often unhelpful; eg, some people like to name their flags like "Door_Flag" - then have code like if( Door_Flag )
{
// Do stuff for Door_Flag set
}
else
{
// Do stuff for Door_Flag clear
}But it's not obvious what "Door_Flag set" actually means!
Therefore I prefer to name flags so that they directly show their meaning; eg, if( Door_Is_Open )
{
// Do stuff for open door
}
else
{
// Do stuff for closed door
}
This is, of course, subjective & a matter of style but I think it improves the "readability" (and hence maintainability) of your code. I speak as one who has had to wade through plenty of code with poorly-named (or even misleadingly-named) variables...! |
