Código Autodocumentado

Contraste entre nombres cortos y descriptivos; tipos explícitos y opcionales (str?); aliases de tipo Celsius/Meters/Seconds; constantes nombradas vs. números mágicos; struct ServerConfig y enum OrderStatus con doc comments en los campos; funciones pequeñas y enfocadas (is_even, clamp).

// ============================================================

// Self-Documenting Code in Zolo

// ============================================================

// Best practices: clear names, explicit types, and doc comments

// where the logic is not obvious.


use std::Array

// -- Descriptive names as documentation -----------------------


// Bad: short, meaningless names

fn f(a: int, b: int) -> int { return a + b }
fn g(x: [int]) -> int { return x.len() }

// Good: names that explain the intent

fn calculate_total(price: int, quantity: int) -> int {
    return price * quantity
}

fn count_elements(list: [int]) -> int {
    return list.len()
}

// -- Types as documentation -----------------------------------


// Explicit types communicate intent:

let age: int = 25
let name: str = "Alice"
let active: bool = true
let balance: float = 1234.56

// Optional types show that the value may be nil:

let email: str? = nil
let phone: str? = "+55 11 99999-0000"

// Type aliases for domain-specific values:

type Celsius = float
type Meters = float
type Seconds = float

let temperature: Celsius = 36.5
let distance: Meters = 100.0
let elapsed: Seconds = 9.58

print("Temp: {temperature}C")
print("{distance}m in {elapsed}s")

// -- Constants with meaningful names --------------------------


// Bad: magic numbers without explanation

// if speed > 343 { ... }


// Good: named constants

const SPEED_OF_SOUND = 343       // meters per second

const GRAVITY = 9.81             // m/s^2

const MAX_RETRIES = 3
const TIMEOUT_MS = 5000

fn is_supersonic(speed: float) -> bool {
    return speed > SPEED_OF_SOUND
}

print("Mach 1+ ? {is_supersonic(400.0)}")

// -- Structs as data documentation ----------------------------


/// HTTP server configuration.

struct ServerConfig {
    /// Address to listen on (e.g. "0.0.0.0")

    host: str,
    /// TCP port (e.g. 8080)

    port: int,
    /// Enable debug mode with verbose logs

    debug: bool,
    /// Maximum number of simultaneous connections

    max_connections: int,
}

let config = ServerConfig {
    host: "0.0.0.0",
    port: 8080,
    debug: false,
    max_connections: 100,
}

print("Server: {config.host}:{config.port}")

// -- Enums document possible states ---------------------------


/// Status of an order in the system.

enum OrderStatus {
    /// Order created, waiting for payment

    Pending,
    /// Payment confirmed, in preparation

    Processing,
    /// Order shipped for delivery

    Shipped,
    /// Successfully delivered

    Delivered,
    /// Order cancelled by user or system

    Cancelled,
}

fn status_label(status: OrderStatus) -> str {
    return match status {
        OrderStatus::Pending => "Awaiting payment",
        OrderStatus::Processing => "In preparation",
        OrderStatus::Shipped => "Shipped",
        OrderStatus::Delivered => "Delivered",
        OrderStatus::Cancelled => "Cancelled",
    }
}

let order = OrderStatus::Shipped
print("Status: {status_label(order)}")

// -- Small, focused functions ---------------------------------


// Each function does ONE thing and its name describes what:


fn is_even(n: int) -> bool {
    return n % 2 == 0
}

fn is_positive(n: int) -> bool {
    return n > 0
}

fn clamp(value: int, lo: int, hi: int) -> int {
    if value < lo { return lo }
    if value > hi { return hi }
    return value
}

print("clamp(150, 0, 100) = {clamp(150, 0, 100)}")
print("clamp(-5, 0, 100) = {clamp(-5, 0, 100)}")
print("clamp(50, 0, 100) = {clamp(50, 0, 100)}")
