Top 10 C# Code Smells
<p>Amid the lines of logic and layers of algorithms, there lurk imperfections known as “code smells”. This guide dissects these subtle offenders, guiding you towards coding finesse.</p>
<p>I wish these code smell insights had been part of my early learning. Recognizing and addressing these would have undoubtedly streamlined my projects and accelerated my growth as a developer.</p>
<h1>1. Duplicated Code</h1>
<p>Duplicated code is the déjà vu of the coding world. Repetitive, redundant, and representing a major drain on maintainability, it can erode the foundation of an otherwise sturdy codebase. Just as an artist wouldn’t paint the same stroke twice, a coder shouldn’t reproduce identical lines without good reason.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre>
// In Login Module
if(password.Length < 8) {
// Error
}
// In Registration Module
if(password.Length < 8) {
// Error
}</pre>
<p><em>Recognize that eerie feeling of repetition? That’s duplicated code whispering!</em><br />
<strong>Recommendation:</strong> Swear by the DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) principle. Extract and encapsulate duplicated segments. Aim for a sleek and streamlined codebase.</p>
