0⃣ Clean Code Series: Variables📒🧑‍💻

It's a guide to producing readable, reusable, and refactorable software in #php #ruby #javascript #python #java, etc. - Software engineering principles, from Robert C. Martin's book "Clean Code"

(code: github.com/jupeter/clean-…)

Thread (9)🧵👇 Image
1⃣ Clean Code Series: Variables📒 🧑‍💻

☑️ Use meaningful and pronounceable variable names Image
2⃣ Clean Code Series: Variables📒 🧑‍💻

☑️ Use the same vocabulary for the same type of variable Image
3⃣ Clean Code Series: Variables📒 🧑‍💻

☑️ Use searchable names (part 1)

💡We will read more code than we will ever write. By not naming variables that end up being meaningful for understanding our program, we hurt our readers. Make your names searchable. Image
4⃣ Clean Code Series: Variables📒 🧑‍💻

☑️ Use searchable names (part 2) Image
5⃣ Clean Code Series: Variables📒 🧑‍💻

☑️ Use explanatory variables Image
6⃣ Clean Code Series: Variables📒 🧑‍💻

☑️ Avoid nesting too deeply and return early (part 1)

💡Too many if-else statements can make your code hard to follow. Explicit is better than implicit. Image

☑️ Avoid nesting too deeply and return early (part 2) Image
8⃣ Clean Code Series: Variables📒 🧑‍💻

☑️ Avoid Mental Mapping

💡Don’t force the reader of your code to translate what the variable means. Explicit is better than implicit. Image
9⃣ Clean Code Series: Variables📒 🧑‍💻

☑️ Don't add unneeded context

💡If your class/object name tells you something, don't repeat that in your variable name. Image
That's all for the first part of clean-code.
In the next Thread, I will add functions & classes.

1⃣ Clean Code Series: Functions📒🧑‍💻

☑️ Use default arguments instead of short-circuiting or conditionals Image
2⃣ Clean Code Series: Functions📒🧑‍💻

☑️ Function arguments (2 or fewer ideally)

🔹Zero arguments are the ideal case. One or two arguments are ok, and three should be avoided. Anything more than that should be consolidated. Image
