Methods can be overly complicated in some instances with PHP; for example, in the following class I have intentionally left out some meaningful comments and also made the constructor excessively long:
<?php
class TaxiMeter
{
const MIN_RATE = 2.50;
const secondsInDay = 60 * 60 * 24;
const MILE_RATE = 0.2;
private $timeOfDay;
private $baseRate;
private $miles;
private $dob;
/**
* TaxiMeter constructor.
* @param int $timeOfDay
* @param float $baseRate
* @param string $driverDateOfBirth
* @throws Exception
*/
public function __construct(int $timeOfDay, float $baseRate, string $driverDateOfBirth)
{
if ($timeOfDay > self::SECONDS_IN_DAY) {
throw new Exception('There can only be ' . self::SECONDS_IN_DAY . ' seconds in a day.');
} else if ($timeOfDay < 0) {
throw new Exception...
