Best Programming Practice

1.​ All values as variables including Fixed, User Inputs, and Results
2.​ Proper naming conventions for all variables
String name = "Eric";
double height = input.nextDouble();
double totalDistance = distanceFromToVia + distanceViaToFinalCity;
3.​ Proper Program Name and Class Name
4.​ Follow proper indentation
5.​ Give comments for every step or logical block like a variable declaration or conditional and
loop blocks
1.​ Sample Program 1 - Create a program to check if 3 values are internal angles of a triangle.
IMP => Follow Good Programming Practice demonstrated below in all Practice Programs
Hint =>
a.​ Get integer input for 3 variables named x, y, and z.
b.​ Find the sum of x, y, and z.
c.​ If the sum is equal to 180, print ”The given angles are internal angles of a
triangle” else print They are not

Java
// Creating Class with name TriangleChecker indicating the purpose is to
// check if the internal angles add to 180
import java.util.Scanner;

class TriangleChecker {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a Scanner Object
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

// Get 3 input values for angles

int x = input.nextInt();
int y = input.nextInt();
int z = input.nextInt();

// Find the sum of all angles

int sumOfAngles = x + y + z;

// Check if sum is equal to 180 and print either true or false

System.out.println("The given angles " +x+ ", " +y+ ", " + z +
​ ​ ​ " add to " + sumOfAngles);

1
 if (sumOfAngles == 180) {
System.out.println("The given angles are internal angles of a " +
​ ​ ​ ​ "Triangle");
} else {
System.out.println("The given angles are not internal angles " +
​ ​ ​ "of a Triangle");
}

// Closing the Scanner Stream

input.close();
}
}

2.​ Sample Program 2 - Create a program to find the sum of all the digits of a number given by
a user.
Hint =>
a.​ Get an integer input for the number variable.
b.​ Create an integer variable sum with an initial value of 0.
c.​ Create a while loop to access each digit of the number.
d.​ Inside the loop, add each digit of the number to the sum.
e.​ Finally, print the sum outside the loop

Java
// Create SunOfDigit Class to compute the sum of all digits of a number
import java.util.Scanner;

class SumOfDigits {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Create a Scanner Object
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

// Get input value for number

int origNumber = input.nextInt();

// Define variable number and sum initialized to zero

int number = origNumber;
int sum = 0;

2
 // Run while loop to access each digit of number
while (number != 0) {
// Use number % 10 to find each digit of number from last
int digit = number % 10;

// add each digit to sum

sum += digit;

// Remove last digit from number essentially get the quotient

number = number / 10;
}

// Print the sum and close the Scanner Stream

System.out.println("The sum of digit of number:" +origNumber+ " = " +
sum);
input.close();
}
}
