Java Code Standards

Java code standards are essential for maintaining clean, readable, and efficient code. Here are some key guidelines:

Best Practices

• ✅ Consistent Formatting: Use proper indentation (4 spaces) and line breaks.
• 📌 Meaningful Naming: Variables, methods, and classes should have clear, descriptive names.
• 🧪 Code Reviews: Regularly review code with peers to catch issues early.

Naming Conventions

• 📜 Variables: Use camelCase for local variables (e.g., userName).
• 📁 Packages: Use lower_case with underscores (e.g., com.example.utils).
• 🧠 Constants: Use UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (e.g., MAX_USERS).

Code Structure

• 📌 Single Responsibility: Each method should perform one task.
• ⚙️ Avoid Deep Nesting: Keep loops and conditionals shallow for readability.
• 📚 Documentation: Add Javadoc comments for public APIs.
