Exercises in Programming Style

==============================

Comprehensive collection of well-known, and not so well-known, programming

styles using a simple computational task, term frequency. All programs run 

with the following command line:

```bash

python tf-NN.py ../pride-and-prejudice.txt

```

NOTE: the code in the master branch is written for Python 3. If you are looking

for a version for Python 2.7, check out the 2.7 branch or the v1.0 release.

Explanations and historical context for all these styles can be found in the

companion book [Exercises in Programming Style](http://www.amazon.com/Exercises-Programming-Style-Cristina-Videira/dp/1482227371/).

Additions are welcome! 

You can contribute: 

- new exercises related to the existing styles

- an entirely new programming style

- new names for the existing styles

- discussion of names, pros and cons of each style

Because this project and the companion book are used in courses, at the

suggestion of several students I am no longer accepting contributions 

of the existing styles written in different programming languages. 

That is the first exercise that the students do. Having the solutions

easily available here will rob future students of the learning experience!

Please follow the conventions suggested by the existing code base,

specifically, if you are contributing a new style, make a new folder called

nn-funname and add an example program in that folder called

tf-nn.ext. (nn is the next avalaible number in the collection)

Additionally, add a README.md file that clearly describes the

contraints for writing programs in that style. I will only consider

new styles corresponding to constraints that are clearly different

from the ones that already exist in the collection. (different

programs written in existing styles are exercises for students, and

should not be here)

Contributions of new names and discussion should be done under Issues

or on the Wiki part of this repo.

To test your work, make sure your script is executable and then run:

```

./test/test.sh NN

```

Where `NN` is the number prefix of the directory you're adding.

Never stop exercising!

Love,

Crista
