Ways to write quality software (to be updated)
- Comments should say what the code does, not how it does it.
- Name your routines so that they are self-evident. The same goes for parameters.
That way, comments' necessity is reduced.
- Keep the number of parameters small. Try not to go over four. Tree to four is optimal.
- Try not to repeat the code.
- Avoid long routines of code.
- Avoid complex conditional statements with large blocks of code. Reduce the complexity.
** Refactoring (https://youtu.be/1KeJc6V4Jjk?t=127)
- Extract methods.
Change long routines to few/many small ones (ca. 20 lines of code).
- Extract conditional and loop blocks of code as separate routines.
- Move related concepts closer together.
Physically put similar parts/ideas (code that represent those) closer together.
- Reuse same parts of the code extracted earlier.
- Separate concerns/Modularity.
Make each module (class/routine/...) do only one thing.
Don't bloat/clog the code. Goal is to achieve that one goal:)
- Work in small steps.
Small changes are less prone to errors.
- When you code,try to refactor your code after every small change. Try to clean it up a bit if you can.
Remember: "Our job as programmers is to solve problems, not to write code":)

Parametric variables in PSPice
To add parametric variable,use PARAM part from special.olb library.
Place PARAM part. Double click it.
Below first tab is command button "New Property...". Click it.
Add parametric variable name and default value, click ok.
Close "Add New Property" window. Click "Apply", which is
next to "New Property...".
Next, in schematic, double click part value you want to make parametric.
I.E. for caps you can double click cap value, and type property name
inside curly brackets, like {CapVal}.
Now, cap(s) with value {CapVal} will have capacitance you
put under (default) value in "Add New Property" window.
Sweeping is done under menu "Pspice"->New/Edit Simulation profile"->"Analysis",
under options check "Parametric Sweep". Select "Global Parameter". Under "Parameter name:" type variable name without brackets. Under "Sweep type" select type:linear,logarithmic or value list.
