_This PR is being continued from https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/2206, which was closed when the developer_hub was merged._ closes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk-docs/issues/44 --- # Description This PR adds a reference document to the `developer-hub` crate (see https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/2102). This specific reference document covers defensive programming practices common within the context of developing a runtime with Substrate. In particular, this covers the following areas: - Default behavior of how Rust deals with numbers in general - How to deal with floating point numbers in runtime / fixed point arithmetic - How to deal with Integer overflows - General "safe math" / defensive programming practices for common pallet development scenarios - Defensive traits that exist within Substrate, i.e., `defensive_saturating_add `, `defensive_unwrap_or` - More general defensive programming examples (keep it concise) - Link to relevant examples where these practices are actually in production / being used - Unwrapping (or rather lack thereof) 101 todo -- - [x] Apply feedback from previous PR - [x] This may warrant a PR to append some of these docs to `sp_arithmetic` --------- Co-authored-by: Oliver Tale-Yazdi <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Gonçalo Pestana <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Kian Paimani <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Francisco Aguirre <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Radha <[email protected]>
