Programming Practices

 Programming readability

- mean how easy it is to read and to make sense of a text. Or it can mean how easy it is to recognise words on a page, sign, or display. In English, this is often called legibility. A third meaning is about whether computer program code can be read by humans through e.g. embedded documentation.

Code readability is the subjective measurement of how well code explains what it's doing. Highly readable code would be very easy for a programmer to understand without any further explanation. In contrast, unreadable code requires more DOCUMENTATION to explain its design and implementation to others. 

LOGIC STRUCTURE 

-as "the tool for distinguishing between the true and the false;
is the study of symbolic abstractions that capture the formal features of logical inference

CODING PRACTICES

-There are standards that originated from the intensive study of industry experts who analyzed how bugs were generated when code was written and correlated these bugs to specific coding practices. They took these correlations between bugs and coding practices and came up with a set of rules that when used prevented coding errors from occurring. These standard practices offer incredible value to software development organizations because they are pre-packaged automated error prevention practices; they close the feedback loop between a bug and what must be done to prevent that bug from recurring.
