![]() ![]() ![]() To write clean code, you need to have a rather good knowledge of the Java language and its syntax. ![]() Even with minimal team turnover, there’s no way for the developers to be familiar with every part of the codebase in larger, enterprise-grade programming projects.Īnd that’s why clean and maintainable code is so important – to make arguably the most time-consuming task of a developer – reading a project’s codebase – a bit more bearable. Some even say that the profession of a software developer is more about reading than developing, because 80% of our time is spent doing just that – reviewing and understanding someone else’s code.Īnd there’s no easy workaround. More often than not, getting a grip on the existing codebase is a substantial chunk of the developer’s work. We have to put effort into understanding the logic behind the code that someone else has written. Humans on the other hand are not that one-dimensional. Well, a computer can easily execute a convoluted codebase as long as it is free of bugs. We as programmers don’t really write code for the machines. The general idea behind clean code is pretty simple. But probably most importantly, clean code is free of errors and bugs. It is also well organized and follows all the most important conventions and good practices of the Java programming language. Nevertheless, we can say that clean code is most certainly straightforward, and easy to read and comprehend. ![]() Let’s start with defining what clean code really is.Ĭlean code might mean different things to every programmer, so it is really quite difficult to pick a single definition. ![]()
