📚 Code Documentation Standards

Why Documentation Matters

Good documentation is essential for:

• Onboarding: Helps new contributors understand the codebase quickly
• Maintenance: Makes code easier to maintain and debug
• Collaboration: Enables effective teamwork
• Learning: Serves as a learning resource for others
• Professionalism: Demonstrates coding maturity and best practices

Documentation Requirements

All code contributions must include:

1. File-level documentation - Brief description of the file’s purpose
2. Function/method documentation - Parameters, return values, and examples
3. Inline comments - Explanation of complex logic (the “why”, not the “what”)
4. Usage examples - At least one working example demonstrating the code
5. README updates - Add your contribution to the relevant directory README

Language-Specific Standards

We follow industry-standard documentation practices:

Quick Examples

Python Documentation

def calculate_average(numbers: list) -> float:
    """
    Calculate the arithmetic mean of a list of numbers.
    
    Args:
        numbers (list): List of numeric values
    
    Returns:
        float: The average value
    
    Example:
        >>> calculate_average([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
        3.0
    """
    return sum(numbers) / len(numbers)

Java Documentation

/**
 * Sorts an array using the bubble sort algorithm.
 * 
 * @param arr Array to be sorted (modified in-place)
 * @throws NullPointerException if array is null
 * 
 * @example
 * <pre>{@code
 * int[] nums = {5, 2, 8, 1};
 * bubbleSort(nums);
 * // nums is now {1, 2, 5, 8}
 * }</pre>
 */
public static void bubbleSort(int[] arr) {
    // implementation
}

JavaScript Documentation

/**
 * Debounces a function call.
 * 
 * @param {Function} func - Function to debounce
 * @param {number} delay - Delay in milliseconds
 * @returns {Function} Debounced function
 * 
 * @example
 * const debouncedSearch = debounce(search, 300);
 * debouncedSearch('query');
 */
function debounce(func, delay) {
    // implementation
}
