Improve code readability by reducing complexity and nesting through early returns, extracting complex logic into dedicated functions, and using clear parameter naming.
Improve code readability by reducing complexity and nesting through early returns, extracting complex logic into dedicated functions, and using clear parameter naming.
Key practices:
Examples:
# Instead of deeply nested conditions:
if condition1:
if condition2:
if condition3:
# complex logic here
pass
# Use early returns:
if not condition1:
return self
if not condition2:
return self
if not condition3:
return self
# complex logic here
# Instead of positional boolean parameters:
vn.ask(prompt, False, True, False, allow_llm_to_see_data)
# Use named parameters:
vn.ask(prompt, print_results=False, auto_train=True, visualize=False, allow_llm_to_see_data=allow_llm_to_see_data)
# Instead of complex nested logic in main function:
if self.node_data.structured_output_enabled and self.node_data.structured_output:
# 20+ lines of complex logic
# Extract to dedicated function:
def process_structured_output(self):
if not self.node_data.structured_output_enabled:
return
if not self.node_data.structured_output:
return
# complex logic here
# Then call it:
process_structured_output()
This approach makes code more maintainable, easier to test, and significantly improves readability by reducing cognitive load.
