Coding Conventions

• Monkey Strict-Mode is used for all files:
  • Always specify the type of all variables, function return values and function parameters
  • All function call parameters must be enclosed in brackets
  • A function that does not return Void must end with a Return statement
• If possible Monkey shortcuts are used:
  • # instead of :Float
  • % instead of :Int
  • ? instead of :Bool
  • $ instead of :String
• Naming conventions are
  • Constants are all-caps case (eg: ALLCAPS)
  • Globals, functions, classes, methods and properties are MixedCase (eg: MixedCase)
  • Fields, locals and function parameters are camel case (eg: camelCase)
• Private will never be used. Why to hide things? We assume each developer knows what he is doing.
• Indention is done using 4 spaces
• Filenames are lowercase (eg: filename.monkey)
