What is Clean Code?

It is a clear, simple and error-free code structure that can be easily read by other software developers.

Overview

Clean code is code written in a way that not only computers but also humans can understand it. Instead of complex and intertwined structures, codes with meaningful names and tasks divided into clear and regular parts are preferred. This approach makes the project easier to maintain in the long term and reduces errors.

Analogy: It is like the books in a library being arranged on regular shelves according to their genres and authors, rather than randomly; You will instantly find what you are looking for.

How it works

Where it is used

It is a fundamental principle for all professional software development teams to maintain code quality.
