Clean Code

Clean code refers to source code that is easy to read, understand, and maintain. It emphasizes writing code that is organized, efficient, and avoids complex logic. The goal of clean code is to make the code more readable for other developers as well as your future self.

Some best practices for writing clean code include using descriptive variable and function names, breaking code into small reusable functions, limiting nesting and indentation, eliminating duplicate code, and adding comments to explain parts that may be unclear. For example, a function name like calculateTotalCost() is more descriptive than calc(). Modularizing code into small functions also improves readability. Comments can explain the overall logic or nuances in the code. In general, clean code focuses on creating code that clearly communicates its purpose and how it works. This makes it easier for future developers to quickly comprehend the code to fix bugs or add new features.
