Different programs/codes (for the same purpose) may have different approach like some will take more size, more memory, more time, more hardware etc. and some will take less of them. ( but all codes will perfectly serve the desired purpose though being different from eachother in many respects.)

Like programs, "Programers" may also be having different approaches to handle situations and with their own style.

Some programers may be developing codes with the help of writing a very crude code in the begining and then debug it with the help of simulator or trial and error method. (Let's call it trial and error method)

Some may do it by mathematically first calculate everything and then write a good code in the begining and then remove minor errors thru debugging. (Let's call it proper method)

The both methods may be having goods and bads.

I always find it easier to do programs with trial and error method. Like for example I developed IR decoding code without even knowing the IR format and the pulse width durations. I didn't do any mathematics...... but I made it successfully. (trial and error method)

On the other hand look at the RC-5 decoding code on various sites. People have pre-calculated the pulse durations and written code for that much durations (milliseconds).(proper method)

Comments are invited as to how a begginer should develop his/her style right from the beginning.
