Overview of this book

Traditionally associated with developing Windows desktop applications and games, C# is now used in a wide variety of domains, such as web and cloud apps, and has become increasingly popular for mobile development. Despite its extensive coding features, professionals experience problems related to efficiency, scalability, and maintainability because of bad code. Clean Code in C# will help you identify these problems and solve them using coding best practices. The book starts with a comparison of good and bad code, helping you understand the importance of coding standards, principles, and methodologies. You’ll then get to grips with code reviews and their role in improving your code while ensuring that you adhere to industry-recognized coding standards. This C# book covers unit testing, delves into test-driven development, and addresses cross-cutting concerns. You’ll explore good programming practices for objects, data structures, exception handling, and other aspects of writing C# computer programs. Once you’ve studied API design and discovered tools for improving code quality, you’ll look at examples of bad code and understand which coding practices you should avoid. By the end of this clean code book, you’ll have the developed skills you need in order to apply industry-approved coding practices to write clean, readable, extendable, and maintainable C# code.

Avoiding multiple parameters

Niladic methods are the ideal type of methods in C#. Such methods have no parameters (also known as arguments). Monadic methods only have one parameter. Dyadic methods have two parameters. Triadic methods have three parameters. Methods that have more than three parameters are known as polyadic methods. You should aim to keep the number of parameters to a minimum (preferably less than three).

In the ideal world of C# programming, you should do your best to avoid triadic and polyadic methods. The reason for this is not because it is bad programming, but because it makes your code easier to read and understand. Methods with lots of parameters can cause visual stress to programmers, and can also be a source of irritation. IntelliSense can also be difficult to read and understand as you add more parameters.

Let's look at a bad example of a polyadic method that updates a user's account information:
