Coding standards in this course because many older compilers do not understand some of the latest ANSI C++ additions to the language, the code in this course is specifically written to compile on both new and old compilers.
For this reason, we will continue to use the .h suffix for libraries named in #include statements.
In addition, we will not use namespaces, since only the most recent compilers support them.
The programmer/developer should implement coding standards that allow for the implementation of object oriented concepts as defined in C++. Furthermore, the coding standards will allow a developer to read his own code several years from now as well as allow other developers to follow his programming thoughts.
