Programming style refers to the set of conventions and practices that programmers follow when writing code. This includes aspects like naming conventions, indentation, and the organization of code. A consistent programming style enhances readability, making it easier for others (and the original author) to understand and maintain the code over time. Good programming style often involves using clear and descriptive names for variables and functions, as well as adhering to established guidelines, such as those found in PEP 8 for Python or Google Java Style Guide for Java. Following these conventions helps create a more collaborative and efficient coding environment.
