Learning Tips & Best Practices

📝 Function Names

Use descriptive verbs like 'calculateArea', 'processData', or 'displayResult'.

🔄 Parameter Passing

Use references (&) when you want to modify the original variable, values for read-only access.

📤 Return Values

Choose return types carefully. Use void only when the function doesn't produce a result.

🎯 Single Purpose

Each function should do one thing well. This makes code easier to understand and debug.
