Coding in text languages give you a lot of freedom to do whatever you want, but they are also a lot more difficult to read since they aren’t just code blocks arranged in different orders.

This is why it’s especially important to keep in line with a consistent way of writing code. Everyone writes their code in a slightly different style, and that style can change over time, but it’s always important that you keep all code in a single project looking the same.

All too many times people tend to write code like this:

function blue_Baird() {
  var bird = new DrawBoard(10, 10)
                 setTimeout(function() { 
 for (let x = 0; x < 10; x++) { bird.point(x, x); }
  }
bird.draw();
}

What can you understand from the code above? Not much. You may think the function draws a bird, but what does it actually do? Does it draw a bird, a line, and x? Who knows… we can’t easily understand it.

Let’s take a look at how we can make readable code.
