What are some tips for writing clean code?

Here are some tips for writing clean code: 1. Use meaningful variable names, 2. Keep functions small and focused, 3. Write comments to explain why, not what, 4. Follow consistent formatting, and 5. Refactor regularly.

Can you explain why meaningful variable names are important?

Meaningful variable names improve code readability and maintainability, making it easier for others (and yourself) to understand the code later.

What do you mean by keeping functions small and focused?

Keeping functions small and focused means that each function should perform a single task or responsibility, which makes it easier to test and debug.

How often should I refactor my code?

You should refactor your code whenever you notice it becoming difficult to read or maintain, or when you add new features that complicate the existing code.
