GREEN CODING IN PROGRAMMING AND PRACTICES

This work explores green coding in programming, its principles and use in industry. Green coding principles should not be considered contrary to existing practices. It analyses some of the studies conducted in this field. Best practices on green coding are defined. Software developers can support their sustainability efforts through a number of green coding tactics. These best practices range from minimizing artefacts to improving efficiency. The paper conducts research on the minimization of resources used in testing, testing and deploying updated code, using solar and sustainable energy, environmental impact on the IT sector, programming languages used in green coding, etc. The best practices mentioned to make the program eco-friendly are reported to be followed.
