Arrange these 3 words in the "correct" linguistic.
shirt, large, green.
Hopefully, all native English speakers will say
large green shirt.
We just do.
I wonder if the same is true for ...
final public static function
I've just done a quick scan of all my methods ...
5 abstract protected function
2 abstract public function
2 final protected function
11 final public function
1 final public static function
1 final static public function
2 private final function
12 private function
8 private static function
120 protected function
5 public final function
125 public function
11 public static function
3 static function
4 static private function
7 static protected function
16 static public function
This is code that is 6 years old. As you can see I'm completely inconsistent.
If there was some evidence that one order is preferable to another -
pretty much ANY metric would do - then I'd probably adopt it.
But I don't know if it makes ANY difference.
OOI. I did the same analysis for Zend Framework (not the most recent,
but a good a representative analysis as any I suppose).
1 abstract function
40 abstract protected function
153 abstract public function
1 final private function
1 final protected function
9 final public function
2 final public static function
150 private function
37 private static function
1 protected abstract function
1507 protected function
63 protected static function
5 public abstract function
2 public final function
11956 public function
701 public static function
1 static function
1 static private function
10 static protected function
60 static public function
So, as mixed up as my own.
Richard.
