Const correctness

You should declare all accessor functions with the const keyword ( accessor functions are functions that do not modify their implicit parameters )

#const #functions #c++

Commenting functions

Establish clear preconditions for all inputs. Write in the @param comment what values you are not willing to handle.

Write assert statements that enforce the preconditions.

Be sure to supply correct results for all inputs that fulfil the precondition.

Const references

Adding const& to value parameters is generally worthwhile for objects but not for numbers. Using a const reference for an int or float is actually slower than using a value parameter. It also only works if the function never modifies its value parameters.

#const #reference #c++

The most dangerous thing in the world is to think you understand something.
