How to Write Clean Code?

Basic Hygiene

• Leave the place cleaner than you got it.

Naming Convention

• Do one thing in a function. Name should reflect the action. Function name is a verb.
• Declare literals ([a-z]+, [0-9]+) as constants.

Functions

• The function should not exceed twenty lines.
• Each if, else, while statement can become a function.
• The function can have one or two levels of indentation.
• A function must do only one thing. The one thing is discovered when function can’t be reduced further. The reduced name is similar to the function’s current name.
