Introduction

This document gives coding conventions for Matlab code as part of the Two!Ears Auditory Model.

Code is read much more often than it is written. The guidelines provided here are intended to improve the readability of code and make it consistent across the whole Two!Ears Auditory Model. Both points are, besides a good documentation, also a big part of the impression our software gives to other users.

These guidelines are introduced at a stage where we have already written code and you are of course not forced to rewrite the existing code. For your existing code the following points should be considered:

  • Make sure your old code includes a function/class header for documentation
  • If you have to read code that you have not written yourself and which does not comply to the guidelines presented here, you could create an issue if you are not able to understand the code
