What does a good programmer’s code look like?
They always write their structure blocks the same, indent religiously and comment where appropriate. The second things you’d notice is that their code is segmented into small methods / functions spanning no more than a couple dozen lines at the most. They also use self describing method names and generally their code is very readable.
Can a three character code stand alone as a code?
A three-character category that has no further subdivision (i.e., no greater specificity) can stand alone as a code. In this case, however, greater specificity is possible, and you should fill in as many “blanks” as you can.
How to identify the class of a status code?
The class of a status code can be quickly identified by its first digit: 1xx: Informational 2xx: Success 3xx: Redirection 4xx: Client Error 5xx: Server Error
Why is it hard for people to understand code?
Here’s a short paper that highlights one reason in particular: people tend to misunderstand code when it seems like it should be doing one thing, while it’s actually doing something else. (Via Simon DeDeo.) What Makes Code Hard to Understand? What factors impact the comprehensibility of code?
Do you think you can understand someone else’s code?
When faced with “someone else’s code” we don’t have that. We are faced with pages and pages of code. And often written in a style that is dissimilar to our own. This can lead us to think that the style of the code is the problem. That if only the style was “correct” (read: like my own) then it would be “easier” to understand.
Is it easy to read other people’s code?
And the more you can gain an understanding of how different parts of the code are connected, the more you’ll develop an understanding of the entire codebase, as a whole. And, over time, the more (good) code you see, the easier it becomes to read and understand all code, and the faster you can do so.
Can you understand other people’s code without judgment?
If your thoughts automatically went to code reviews when reading the title, you are not alone. However, this post is not about code reviews, quite the opposite. I’m going to ask you to approach other people’s code without judgment, with the purpose of understanding, not evaluating. It might surprise you how difficult this is.
