Structure code to minimize complexity and improve readability through logical organization. This includes using early returns to reduce nesting levels and ordering operations in a logical sequence.
Structure code to minimize complexity and improve readability through logical organization. This includes using early returns to reduce nesting levels and ordering operations in a logical sequence.
Use early returns to flatten code structure and avoid deep nesting:
# Prefer this - early return pattern
if argv[1] != "get":
eprint("Unknown command ...")
return 1
# Handle main logic here
...
# Instead of nested if-else chains
if argv[1] == "get":
# Handle main logic here
...
else:
eprint("Unknown command ...")
return 1
Additionally, organize method calls in logical order where setup operations precede execution operations:
# Setup first
self.ScratchFile('BUILD', [...])
self.ScratchFile('main.cc', [...])
# Then execute
exit_code, _, stderr = self.RunBazel([...])
This approach reduces cognitive load by keeping indentation shallow and presenting operations in their natural sequence.
