Go to any open-source repository, where software developers collaborate on the development of open-source software, and download the code from one or more open-source projects. Some potential repositories to explore are: JavaWorld (https://www.javaworld.com/blog/open-source-java-projects/), and Java-Source (http://java-source.net/).
You will notice that the quality of the programs and the quality of the programming varies greatly. Try to remember that these open source projects are posted by programmers of all different levels of experience, and the projects are in various stages of development. As such, they do not always embody sound programming practices.
Examine the source code for one or more open-source projects and locate an example in which: (1) the documentation and commenting within the program leaves something to be desired and (2) more than one control flow statement is used. Inspect the code for the individual source files. If you are able to build the project, run the program a few times so you understand what the author of the program was trying to achieve and how the lines of code in the project work. Think about how the commenting could be improved.
Summarize your findings. The final assignment should:
Include a link to the open-source project you chose as an example of poor commenting, or attach an example source file to your posting.Identify the methods within the example program you believe are not sufficiently documented.Examine the control flow statements to determine what they do and if their purpose is clearly documented.Explain why you feel the current commenting within the project needs improvement.Copy the example code into your assignment, replacing or adding detail to the current comments in order to make the program easier for a user to understand.Be in APA Format (Template is attached)350-500 text characters (Not including the example code you will paste)
