Simplicity Reveals Design Flaws
The complexity of a function can often be assessed through the number of parameters it has. A high number of parameters, especially when disproportionate to the lines of code, indicates potential design flaws, suggesting a need for simplification. Striving for clarity in naming can further highlight issues; difficulty in naming may suggest that the function is trying to encapsulate too much. Clear inputs and outputs are crucial, as they form the interface of the function. Additionally, resorting to complex structures to minimize input count, such as hashes or maps, can obscure clarity and hinder proper design. In programming languages like Go, the emphasis on simplicity encourages better design practices, making it easier to identify and rectify complex or convoluted code.
