Posting Etiquette
-
Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.
-
Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.
-
Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.
-
Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/

Practices and practice mean two different things here. Decide which you mean.
Please clarify on how they are different. I'm really confused by this comment and want to know what I'm missing.
A practicing doctor and a practicing footballer are not the same. The doctor follows 'the practice of medicine', but the other goes to 5 practices a week or so. The meaning is different and so are the rules.
Alright. I thought from my post it was clear I meant "How do I write code that follows good standards? How do I learn the rules of thumb about how to write good code?" by "code that follows good practices". I suppose you can sum that up as "the practice of writing good code", closer to the sense of "the practice of law", although I wasn't originally thinking of it that way, hence my confusion. Did I make some grammatical error that made it hard to interpret? I'd like to know so I can avoid such problems in the future. If it's worth anything, English is my native language and I am aware of those two senses of "practice" you mentioned.
