Re: reusable coding and programming?

+1

And remember: other programmers (which want to re-use Your classes or
libraries), can make mistakes (and You too, of course)!

So, try to make Your classes and libraries "foolproof" as much as possible.

Hello!~

To make a program or some classes / functions better reuseable (or
other people can easily build their code on them), what are the major
points to pay attention to? Any "fast cooking list and recipe" for it?

- A welldocumented interface
- Default settings that work, so that you do not have to call numerous
"set..." functions to make it work with the simplest task
- Code examples on how to make it work
