Art & Logic Programming Style Guide: Classes and Structures

When laying out classes, we use the following physical breakdown in the source files:

• ^[cas01] The methods are listed in this order:

  • public methods
  • protected methods
  • private methods

• ^[cas02] The member variables are listed in this order:

  • public members (avoid these)
  • protected members
  • private members

Within those sections, prefer to keep things grouped logically -- for instance, keep all of the overloaded operators together, all of the constructors together, etc.
