Overview of this book

Traditionally associated with Windows desktop applications and game development, C# has expanded into web, cloud, and mobile development. However, despite its extensive coding features, professionals often encounter issues with efficiency, scalability, and maintainability due to poor code. Clean Code in C# guides you in identifying and resolving these problems using coding best practices. This book starts by comparing good and bad code to emphasize the importance of coding standards, principles, and methodologies. It then covers code reviews, unit testing, and test-driven development, and addresses cross-cutting concerns. As you advance through the chapters, you’ll discover programming best practices for objects, data structures, exception handling, and other aspects of writing C# computer programs. You’ll also explore API design and code quality enhancement tools, while studying examples of poor coding practices to understand what to avoid. By the end of this clean code book, you’ll have the developed the skills needed to apply industry-approved coding practices to write clean, readable, extendable, and maintainable C# code.

Chapter 4

  1. Methods with no parameters are called niladic methods.
  2. Methods with only one parameter are called monadic methods.
  3. Methods with two parameters are called dyadic methods.
  4. Methods with three parameters are called triadic methods.
  5. Methods with more than three parameters are called polyadic methods.
  6. You should avoid duplicate code. It is not a productive way to program, can make programs unnecessarily large, and has the propensity to proliferate the same exception throughout your codebase.
  7. Functional programming is a software coding methodology that treats computations as the mathematical evaluation of computations that does not modify state.
  8. The advantages of functional programming include safe code in multithreaded applications and smaller, more meaningful methods that are easy to read and understand.
  9. Input and output can be a problem for functional programs as it relies on side-effects. Functional programming does not allow for side-effects...
