Good java code should be readable and self explanatory to others.
In order to write a good java code,following things are need to be taken care of-
1) Variable Name- should be meaningful(related to context) and should be short.
avoid hyphen,underscore while declaring variable.
For ex: int sum,float temperature,double averageSum.
2) If variable name is long,use camel casing. for ex:numberOfRows
3) Class Name- should be noun not verb.It should be descriptive. For ex:ReadMailbox
4) Interface Name -Define Interface names which represents adjective.For ex:Versionable
5) Method Name– Should represent Verb. For ex: getHashItem() , addProject()
6) Comments-Should be written in few words and specific to the topic.
a)Use implementation comments inside the method or describing variable names, method line instead of documentation/block comment.
ex-
// This code check for valid value of tax
if () {
}
b)Use documentation block comment to describe method name or class.
ex-
/** This method retrieves project list
**/
public List<String> retrieveProjectList() {
}
