Writing Clean and Maintainable Code

Clean code is not just about making your code work - it’s about making it understandable and maintainable for yourself and others.

Key Principles

1. Keep it Simple

   • Write simple, focused functions
   • Avoid complex nested logic
   • Use clear, descriptive names

2. DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself)

   • Extract common functionality
   • Create reusable components
   • Maintain single sources of truth

3. Comments and Documentation

   • Write self-documenting code
   • Add comments for complex logic
   • Maintain up-to-date documentation

Remember: Code is read more often than it is written. Make it count!
