Thread: Adding Coding Standards(Java Coding Convention?) in my project documenation

i beg your pardon, if i post this in this section of forums, this is the only section i think is relevant to my concern right now

i was asked by my professor, to add these things

a. Coding Standards
In general, the proponents used the following coding standards:
• The use of indention in codes to distinguish between lines and codes and to make it more readable
• The use of comments to know the function of each code
• Use of descriptive variables and file names.
• The use of global variables
• The use of modules and forms

the thing is, i really dont have any idea how to do that, inspite of the knowledge i have regarding with Java Coding Convention, at first i was thinking "copy all the source codes of the system" and paste it in the paper? O_O,

its similar to this

i absolutely know what is a "CAR", but i dont know what to do with a car?, theres so many things i can do with a "CAR", i can "drive" it, "smash" it, "destroy" it, "sell" it or even "hug" it,

i do have a knowledge with the java coding convention, but what should i put with "adding a coding standards" in my documenation?,

i got a piece of idea on this site Coding Standards - Symfony


what i understand is, im going to write a fragment of code, state all the rules and "THE WAY" i wrote the codes based on Java Coding Convention. im confused, please help, i dont want to blame my lack of english, i need help.. and please take care of english idioms i always got a hard time debugging thoughts that i dont understand, my professor told me that this is important on documenation. what should i do with the thing he is requesting to me? or what should i put in my codes?

this is what i've got in mind so far, from the sample i posted above

package timekeepsystem;
 
/**
 * This file is part of timeKeepSystem package.
 * 
 * @author Zabdiel
 */
public class MyClass {
 
    private int myIntegerVariable;
    private static String creator;
 
    /**
     * Static block.
     * 
     * static variables initialization on class loading
     */
    static {
 
        creator = "Creator";
    }
 
    /**
     * Constructs a new instance of this class,
     * initialized all instance variables.
     */
    public void MyClass() {
 
        myIntegerVariable = 1;
    }
 
    /**
     * 
     * @param string who Some argument description
     */
    public void myMethod(String who) {
 
        if (who.equals("Creator")) {
 
            System.out.println(creator);
        }
        else {
 
            System.out.println("Your not the creator");
        }
    }
 
    public int getSomeNumber() {
 
        return 1;
    }
}

and i will state how do i "WRITE" codes based on a coding convention(Java)? is that what is needed in this part of documenation?
