How to

write
clean
code
Swipe to read
Use
Descriptive Naming
Clear and descriptive names
make your code easier to
understand.

Whether it's a variable, function,


or class, its name should reflect
its purpose.
Follow the
DRY Principle
DRY stands for
"Don't Repeat Yourself".

If you write the same code in


multiple places, create a function
that can be called whenever that
task is needed.
Keep
Functions Small
Each function should
do one thing and do it well.

If the functions are too large and


are doing too many things, it's
probably time to break it down.
Write Comments,
but Use Them Wisely
Comments are useful, but they
are not a substitute for clean
code.

They should explain why


something is done not what is
being done. Remember, good
code often documents itself.

Regularly Refactor
Your Code
Don’t be afraid to revisit and
improve your code.

As you gain more knowledge and


experience, you’ll discover better
ways of doing things. Refactoring
is a natural part of the coding
process.
