#Programming Style
> Here's what I could understand from Kristaba's habits ~Eiyeron
FiXos seems based on snake_case, which means that only lower case is used and underscores (`_`) are used to separate words in variable/function/files names.
## Namespaces
Prefixes are given to public variables or all functions and is based on the filename. Theses prefixes can be shortened if it's too long.
## Naming variables
- normal variable : `type this_is_variable`
- static variable : `static type _private_variable`
- pointer : `type *pointer_to_something`
## Naming functions
- normal and static : `(static) type function(type argument, type *pointer) {`
- function pointer : inconsistent and should be fixed.
## Code format
Here's a sample on how FiXos code should look. (Precisions shouldbe given on spacing, space v.s. tabs, using blank lines, etc...)
```c
void sample_function_1(int c) {
int a;
float *b;
b = (float*)malloc(sizeof(float));
if(b == NULL)
return;
for(i=0; i<10; i++)
_*b += 2*c + i;
if(i < b) {
*b = i - *b;
}
switch(c) {
case 1: return 5; break;
case 2:
case 3: return 8 break;
}
free(b);
return;
}
```
