The Elementsof Programming Style
TEACHING GOOD PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUE S J . L . Lowther and Z . C . Mottele r Michigan Technological Universit y A goal of any programming clas s should be to design and write readable , understandable, and correct programs . To o often, a beginning programming class wil l cover language features and generat e examples illustrating language features , presenting very little, if anything, concerning proper programming style an d methodology . At Michigan Technologica l University, such a situation exists . C S 110, Basic FORTRAN, is a multisection tw o quarter hour course taught by instructor s from a wide variety of backgrounds , Because of the time constraints of th e course, very little beyond the basic features fo FORTRAN may be taught . Student s who emerge from this course can typicall y produce "correct" programs, in the sens e that these programs do what they ar e supposed to in a sort of minimal sense , but poor programming practices are rife . Programs are riddled with hopelessly complicated control structures, output i s poorly formatted and there is often n o heading to tell what it is, programs hav e
