What is the best way to make the code clean and unique?

Locked

Tags: Apple, Mobile

I’m just starting to write applications for IOS, yet I don’t really understand how to write unique code for each. To avoid repeating parts of the code between two applications. Found this service apprefactoring(dot)com on the Internet, did someone work with it? What can you advise?

Each application has it’s own code. But, depending on the OS, you can put common functionality in a shared file, like a .dll in Windows. An app, however, has all code it needs. You can’t share code between different apps, for the simple reason that it should work on a phone without having to download and install another app.

Refactoring is done inside an application. It makes sense to have only one place for functionality that is executed on different places. Makes changing it much more reliable.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_refactoring tells more.

DEBATEABLE!

Let’s say I have shared code between apps. This could make maintenance easier but runs the risk that I would break the other apps if I make changes to the shared code.

Also, if you touch the shared code, doesn’t it follow you have to regression test all apps that use that code?

Frankly, with two apps I might consider some but not all code to be shared between the apps.

It’s a design choice and mine was to put shared code in a deep freeze state. We NEVER refactor that code because the Regression Testing costs TIME and MONEY. Your academic folk tend to want to dismiss TIME and MONEY until it’s their TIME and MONEY!

Absolutely Yes! you are right, Wonderful Explanation.

A clean and unique code is desirable. Your code should be easily readable, understandable, and maintainable.
Write a simple code and make it a point to avoid unnecessary complexities. While writing functions, avoid creating lengthy monolithic functions; instead, try to create short modular functions. In simple words, split your code into smaller-sized functions such that each function focuses on carrying out one specific task efficiently. This approach, called the single responsibility principle, will simplify code testing and debugging.
The names you use for variables, classes, functions, arguments, directories, modules, etc. should be clear and descriptive so that the code’s purpose and function can be clearly understood. To provide further clarity, you can put explanatory comments. But make sure to put comments only wherever necessary, do not clutter your code with needless comments.
It’ll be great if you use white space and employ indentation for code organization. This will simplify the code’s readability and improve its meaningfulness. Coming to the management of dependencies, try to have as many one-directional dependencies as possible. Refrain from having bi-directional dependencies unless absolutely essential. This strategy will minimize complexities.
Most of the popular programming languages offer coding style guides. These guides provide handy information and highlight the best coding practices. Following the style guide is recommended as that will enable you to create clean and consistent codes that can be effortlessly read and understood.

It’s a good idea to try to avoid repeating code in your iOS applications, as this can make your code more difficult to maintain and update. One way to avoid repeating code is to use code reuse techniques such as inheritance and modularization.

Inheritance allows you to create a new class that is based on an existing class, and which automatically includes all the functionality of the base class. This can be a useful way to avoid repeating code if you have two or more classes that share similar functionality.

Write clear, readable, and well-commented code.
Adhere to coding standards and best practices.
Use meaningful variable names and function names.
Keep code modular and avoid duplicating code.
Refactor and simplify code regularly.
Automate repetitive tasks with scripts and tools.
Regularly perform code reviews and get feedback from peers.

Make good documentation of your code, be consistent, use short function and function names, and used explicit variables.

Learn and follow the best practices of your programming language or framew

Follow best practices: Learn and follow the best practices of your programming language or framework. This includes naming conventions, formatting, and commenting. Consistency is key in creating clean and readable code.

Keep it simple: Keep your code simple and easy to understand. Avoid overcomplicating things and breaking your code into smaller functions or methods.

Use meaningful names: Use meaningful and descriptive names for variables, functions, and classes. This makes your code easier to read and understand.

Avoid duplication: Avoid duplicating code by using functions, methods, or classes. This helps keep your code concise and maintainable.

Test your code: Test your code thoroughly to ensure it works as expected and catches errors early on. This helps prevent bugs and ensures that your code is reliable.

Refactor your code: Refactor your code periodically to eliminate duplication, simplify your code, and improve its readability. This also helps ensure that your code remains maintainable and scalable.

By following these practices, you can create clean and unique code that is easy to read, understand, and maintain.

One approach to avoid duplicating code between applications is to create a library or framework that contains common functions or features that can be used across multiple projects. This can help to reduce development time and ensure consistency between applications. Alternatively, you can use the concept of inheritance and abstraction to make your code more modular and reusable.
Another way to improve the efficiency of your code is to use design patterns. Design patterns are reusable solutions to common software development problems that can help to simplify your code and make it more maintainable.
Additionally, you can use third-party libraries and frameworks that provide pre-written code and functionality for specific tasks, such as networking or user interface design. This can help to speed up development time and reduce the amount of code that you need to write.
Overall, it’s important to write code that is modular, reusable, and efficient to avoid duplicating code between applications. You can also use software design patterns and third-party libraries to simplify your development process.
