写好代码 [comments after India project]

这几天项目里事情不忙,我就向DY询问对我的一些comments,想不到由此引发了他给我开小灶讲解如何把代码写得更加优雅.

记下笔记:

1. Code could be written shorter, functionality is easy to implement, but we need to write it well.
2. Refactor had better not be in task list
3. software could be divided into 3 kinds: Life-Critical, Brand-Critical and Commercial.

Also he gave me and lily an exercise to write a small program cp, I think it's a good way to improve my programming.

Detailed comment from my code:

try catch in I/O operation
less comment, code is comment
linear code, such as:

convert

if (fileExists(src)){     if(fileExists(des)&&!isCopyOverwrite(des)){return false; }     else if(fileExists(des)&&isCopyOverwrite(des)){return true;     } else{return true; }}else{}to if (!fileExists(src)) {     // src file does not exist     printError(COPY_FAILURE_MSG);     printError(src + " does not exist");     return false;}if (!fileExists(des)) {     return true;}if (isCopyOverwrite(des)) {     printMessage("choose to overwrite the existing file " + des);     return true;}

接着他建议我去看一本<<敏捷软件开发>>的书.

最新消息说很有可能2个月后就换到一个做C++的产品里去,难道,两年不爽的Java生涯就此能够结束了吗?

练习的全部代码如下:
