Comments

Comments are put into your code to make it more easily understandable by others.

Header Section of Your Program - before your program you should have a section with the title of the program, your name and the date.
           //Greeting Program
           //By: N.E. Body
           //Date: Feb 2, 2003.

 There should be regular comments in the code to explain what is happening.
 
White Space – the compiler doesn’t care if your write your entire program on one line. However, the human reading your
code does care. Keep your lines of code short. Leave blank lines (white space) between major sections of code.

User-Friendly Input and Output

• Prompt a user to get data from them. Tell them to “Enter an integer:” for example.
• If useful, when asking the user for input, give them an example of the correct data. “Enter an integer (eg, 2 or –44):”
• Arrange your output nicely. Do not have it scrunched together. Use lines like: System.out.println (“************”) to draw separator lines on the screen.
• Watch your spacing around variables. Output should not look like Your name isSarahand your age is3.
• Explain what you are outputting
