| ==Typical templates for Python scripts, C++ programs and others== | | ==About programming== |
|
| |
|
| It is always rewarding on the long term to start any piece of computer software with a minimum amount of generic code (verbose, command-line options, help message, license, etc). But it's a pain to write all this every time, right? So below are my typical templates for any Python script, C++ program, Beamer presentation, Bash script, etc.
| | * '''Resources''': most of the time, it's not necessary to buy a book, search online instead! |
| | ** [http://software-carpentry.org/ Software Carpentry] |
| | ** [http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ C++ tutorial] |

|
| * '''Python''': it is assumed that the code below is copied into a file named "MyClass.py". | | * '''Program templates''': it is always rewarding on the long term to start any piece of computer software with a minimum amount of generic code (verbose, command-line options, help message, license, etc). But it's a pain to write all this every time, right? And often we know how to do something in one language but not in another. So below are my typical templates for any C++/Python/R/Bash program, as well as Beamer presentation. |
| | ** '''C++''': download the file [http://github.com/timflutre/quantgen/blob/master/myprogram.cpp myprogram.cpp], as well as [http://github.com/timflutre/quantgen/blob/master/utils_io.cpp utils_io.cpp] along with its header [http://github.com/timflutre/quantgen/blob/master/utils_io.hpp utils_io.hpp]. |
| | ** '''Python''': download the file [http://github.com/timflutre/quantgen/blob/master/myprogram.py myprogram.py] |
| | ** '''R''': download the file [http://github.com/timflutre/quantgen/blob/master/myprogram.py myprogram.R] |
| | ** '''Bash''': download the file [http://github.com/timflutre/quantgen/blob/master/myprogram.py myprogram.bash] |

| | * '''Language-independent user documentation''': I'm a firm believer that it is necessary to add some user documentation, even minimal, to any program. An easy way to do this is to simply generate such documentation from the "help" message, as long as it is "properly" formatted (see [http://www.gnu.org/s/help2man/ help2man]). The following commands work for any programming language: |
