Use Appropriate Parameter and Return Types
. Favor interface types over classes for input
- provides flexibility, performance
. Use most specific possible input parameter type
- Moves error from runtime to compile time (Julia's comment: Great tip, reduce time on debugging, fix things in compiling time!)
. Don't use string if a better type exists
- Strings are cumbersome, error-prone, and slow
. Don't use floating point for monetary values
- Binary floating point causes inexact results!
- Use double (64 bits) ranther than float (32bits)
-Precision loss is real, performance loss negligible
