Tips for Good Coding

Simple practices to make your code cleaner and better

1. Write Meaningful Variable Names

Choose descriptive names instead of single letters. For example:

let userAge = 25; // ✅ Good
let x = 25;      // ❌ Bad

2. Keep Your Code DRY

DRY means Don't Repeat Yourself. Reuse functions instead of writing the same logic again and again.

3. Add Comments Wisely

Use comments to explain why you are doing something, not what the code is doing.

4. Use Consistent Formatting

Follow proper indentation and spacing. It makes your code more readable for others (and yourself).

5. Break Code Into Functions

Functions make code reusable and easier to maintain.

6. Test Your Code Regularly

Instead of writing all the code and testing at the end, test small parts frequently.

7. Keep Learning

Technology evolves. Keep learning new coding standards, tools, and frameworks to improve your skills.
