What is Good Code?

Bad Code

Can make scared!

while ((!found) && (pos < (fileContent.Length - 6))){ byteData = new byte[6]; Array.Copy(fileContent, pos, byteData, 0, 6); pos = pos + 6; str_byteData = enc.GetString(byteData); if (str_byteData.Contains("s")) { posE_byteData = str_byteData.IndexOf("s"); pos = pos + (posE_byteData - 6); Array.Copy(fileContent, pos, byteData, 0, 6); pos = pos + 6; if (byteData[0] == 0x73) // 's' { if (byteData[1] == 0x74) // 't' { if (byteData[2] == 0x72) // 'r' { if (byteData[3] == 0x65) // 'e' { if (byteData[4] == 0x61) // 'a' { if (byteData[5] == 0x6D) // 'm' { found = true; break; } else { if (byteData[5] == 0x73) { pos = pos - 1; } } }

Theory of Broken Window

Big Redesign in the Sky

Netscape

rewrote Netscape 4.0 and released it after three years as Netscape 6.0

Borland

rewrote dBase and Quattro Pro

Microsoft

rewrote Word

The Boy Scout Rule

Leave the campground cleaner than you found it

OOP Principles

Solid PrinciplesS.o.l.i.d. Principles

Single Responsibility Principle

Only one reason to change

Robustness

public void statusChanged(JobEvent jobEvent){ jobEventListener.statusChanged(jobEvent); } public void pageComputed(JobEvent jobEvent){ jobEventListener.pageComputed(jobEvent); } //...}

OpenClose Principle

open for extension

close for modification

abstraction

public static final int TYPE_UNDEFINED = 0;public static final int TYPE_LEGAL_AG = 1;public static final int TYPE_LEGAL_PG = 2;public static final int TYPE_TEMPORARY = 3;//...boolean ok = false;String buildType = m_cdInfo.buildType.toUpperCase();String prefix = "";switch (archType) {case TYPE_LEGAL_AG: if (buildType.equals("LEGAL_AG") || buildType.equals("LEGAL_AGPG")){ ok = true; } break;

Liskov Substitution Principle

If for each object o1 of type S there is an object o2 of type T such that for all programs P defined in terms of T, the behavior of P is unchanged when o1 is substituted for o2 then S is a subtype of T

Liskov Substitution Principle

Subtypes must be substitutable for their base types

Inheritance and polymorphism

public class Rectangle { protected int _width; protected int _height;

public int Width{ get { return _width; } }

public int Height{ get { return _height; } }

public virtual void SetWidth(int width){ _width = width; }

public virtual void SetHeight(int height){ _height = height; }}

public class Square: Rectangle { public override void SetWidth(int width){ _width = width; _height = width; }

public override void SetHeight(int height){ _height = height; _width = height; }}

[TestFixture]public class RectangleTests{ private void CheckAreaOfRectangle(Rectangle r){ r.SetWidth(5); r.SetHeight(2); Assert.IsEqual(r.Width * r.Height,10); }

[Test] public void PassingTest(){ Rectangle r = new Rectangle(); CheckAreaOfRectangle(r); }

[Test] public void FailingTest(){ Rectangle r = new Square(); CheckAreaOfRectangle(r); }}

public class Rectangle { protected int _width; protected int _height;

public int Width{ get { return _width; } }

public int Height{ get { return _height; } }

public virtual void SetWidth(int width){ _width = width; }

public virtual void SetHeight(int height){ _height = height; }}

public class Square { protected int _side;

public int Side{ get { return _side; } }

public void SetSide(int side){ _side = side; }}

Interface Segregation Principle

Don’t be force to implement unused methods

Avoid “Fat Interfaces”

High cohesion - better understandability, robustness

Low coupling - better maintainability, high resistance to changes

public interface CartographyListener { public void poisChanged(Locations pois); public void cellsChanged(Locations cells); public void mapChanged(ImageIcon map); public void updateZoomLevel(int level); public void updateGeoArea(GeoArea ga); public void updateGridPosition(Point2D.Double gridPosition); public void updateMousePosition(Point position);}

public class CellLayer extends Layer { /* Methods from CartographyListener interface */ public void cellsChanged(Locations cells) { setLocations(cells); } //.....}

//.....}

public class CartographyUI extends JPanel { public void addCartographyListener(CartographyListener listener) { if (m_listeners == null) { m_listeners = new ArrayList(); } m_listeners.add(listener); }

public void setCelles(Locations celles) { Iterator listeners = m_listeners.iterator(); while (listeners.hasNext()) { CartographyListener listener = (CartographyListener)listeners.next(); listener.cellsChanged(celles); } updateViewFromLocations(); }

public void setPois(Locations pois) { Iterator listeners = m_listeners.iterator(); while (listeners.hasNext()) { CartographyListener listener = (CartographyListener)listeners.next(); listener.poisChanged(pois); } updateViewFromLocations(); }

//.....}

public interface CartographyListener {}

public interface CellListener extends CartographyListener { public void cellsChanged(Locations cells);}

public interface PoiListener extends CartographyListener { public void poisChanged(Locations locations);}

public class CartographyUI extends JPanel { public void setCelles(Locations celles) { Iterator listeners = m_listeners.iterator(); while (listeners.hasNext()) { CellListener listener = (CellListener)listeners.next(); listener.cellsChanged(celles); } updateViewFromLocations(); }

public void setPois(Locations pois) { Iterator listeners = m_listeners.iterator(); while (listeners.hasNext()) { PoiListener listener = (PoiListener)listeners.next(); listener.poisChanged(pois); } updateViewFromLocations(); }

// ...}

public void addCartographyListener(CartographyListener listener) { Class<?> c = genericObj.getClass(); Class<?> interfaces[] = c.getInterfaces(); for (Class<?> implementedIntf : interfaces) { if (implementedIntf.getName().equals( urmetcns.mito.ui.cartography.ui_components.PoiListener")) poiListeners.add((PoiListener)listener); if (implementedIntf.getName().equals( "urmetcns.mito.ui.cartography.ui_components.CellListener")) cellListeners.add((CellListener)listener); // ... } }

Dependency Injection Principle

Hollywood Principle:

Inversion of Control

"don't call us, we will call you"

Dip <> Spring

private boolean retriveCallSideInfo(String Side) { //... DeterminationMethod = getXmlOption("Method"); // specify which method to be used

//... if (DeterminationMethod.equals("PhoneMatch")) { //... }

if (DeterminationMethod.equals("Exist")) { //Query to che the existence of a specified dictionary element sqlString= "SELECT count(*) AS Cnt FROM iri_dictionary " " WHERE iri_id = ? and key_dictionary = ?"; pstmt = (OraclePreparedStatement)assocInfo.conn.prepareStatement(sqlString); pstmt.setLong(1,assocInfo.myIRIId); pstmt.setString(2,Dictionary); }

if (DeterminationMethod.equals("Compare")) { //... }

if (DeterminationMethod.equals("InOnly")) { //Query alwais true for the //provider Telecom Internazionale sqlString= "SELECT 1 As Cnt FROM Dual"; //... }

public class AsExecFindCallSide extends AsCommandExec { HashMap<String, CallSideDeterminator> strategies= new HashMap<String, CallSideDeterminator>();

private void init() { strategies= new HashMap<String, CallSideDeterminator>(); strategies.put("PhoneMatch", new CallSideDeterminatorPhoneMatch()); strategies.put("Compare", new CallSideDeterminatorCompare()); strategies.put("DFDM", new CallSideDeterminatorDFDM()); //... }

protected boolean retrieveCallSideInfo(String side) { CallSideDeterminator determinator = null; if ((determinator = strategies.get( getXmlOption("Method"))) != null) { determinator.initDeterminator(assocInfo, side); if(determinator.findItem()) { return determinator.storeCIN(side); } } return false; } //...}

The Others Principles

Reuse Release Equivalency Principle

The granule of reuse is the granule of release

A package can be considered unit of distribution

A release should have a version number

Black-box, package that is to be used but not changed

Common Closure Principle

Maintainability is more important than reusability

If code must change, all changes should be in the same package

Common changing classes, should be in the same package

Common Reuse Principle

The classes in a package are reused together

If you reuse one of the classes in a package, you reuse them all

Acyclic Dependencies Principle

Avoid cyclic dependencies

Nightmare to compile

Nightmare to deploy

Least Astonishment Principle

The result of some operation should be obvious, consistent, predictable

Occam’s Razor: The simplest answer is usually the correct answer

int multiply(int a, int b) { return a + b; }

int write_to_file(const char* filename, const char* text){ printf("[%s]\n", text); /* Note that 'filename' is unused */ }

Law of Demeter

Encapsulation

An object should avoid invoking methods of a member object returned by another method

“Don’t talk to stranger"

An object A can request a service (call a method) of an object instance B, but object A cannot “reach through” object B to access yet another object, C, to request its services

“Use only one dot"

Inventory.SalesInfo.Items.Count = 2500;

Room.getPlan().canCustomizeWindow()Room.getPlan().canSelectStyle()Room.getPlan().hasCeilingFan()

Inventory.SetSalesItemsCount(2500);

Room.canCustomizeWindow()Room.canSelectStyle()Room.hasCeilingFan()

Functions

Different abstraction level

Composed method

Divide your program into methods that perform one identifiable task

public void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { /////si aggancia al file salvato nella mappa dell'oggetto application String fileId = request.getParameter("FILEID"); if (fileId == null) { throw new ServletException("Invalid FileId"); } String partNum = request.getParameter("PART"); int part = 1; if (partNum != null) { part = Integer.valueOf(partNum).intValue(); } boolean isLast = "Y".equals(request.getParameter("LAST")); boolean getName = "Y".equals(request.getParameter("GETNAME")); String fileName = MitoDownloadCache.INSTANCE.getFileName(fileId, part); if (fileName== null) { throw new ServletException("Invalid FileName"); }

General

Duplication

Dry“Once, and only once”Duplication is a missed opportunity for abstraction

Dead Code

Code that isn’t executed

if statement that checksfor a condition that can’t happen

Private method never called

switch/case conditions thatnever occur

Do the right thing: give it a decent burial

Vertical Separation

Variables and function should be defined close to where they are used

Local variablesshould be declared just above their first usage

public void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { /////si aggancia al file salvato nella mappa dell'oggetto application String fileId = request.getParameter("FILEID"); if (fileId == null) { throw new ServletException("Invalid FileId"); } String partNum = request.getParameter("PART"); int part = 1; if (partNum != null) { part = Integer.valueOf(partNum).intValue(); } boolean isLast = "Y".equals(request.getParameter("LAST")); boolean getName = "Y".equals(request.getParameter("GETNAME")); String fileName = MitoDownloadCache.INSTANCE.getFileName(fileId, part); if (fileName== null) { throw new ServletException("Invalid FileName"); }

MitoConfig mitoCfg = new MitoConfig(); File file = new File(mitoCfg.getPrintClientDataPath()+"/"+fileName); if (!file.exists()) { throw new ServletException("File " + file.getAbsolutePath() + " not found"); }

if (getName) { doDownloadFilename(request, response, file.getName()); } else { if (isLast) { MitoDownloadCache.INSTANCE.removeFileList(fileId); }

doDownload(request, response, file); file.delete(); }}

public void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { /////si aggancia al file salvato nella mappa dell'oggetto application String fileId = request.getParameter("FILEID"); if (fileId == null) { throw new ServletException("Invalid FileId"); } String partNum = request.getParameter("PART"); int part = 1; if (partNum != null) { part = Integer.valueOf(partNum).intValue(); } String fileName = MitoDownloadCache.INSTANCE.getFileName(fileId, part); if (fileName== null) { throw new ServletException("Invalid FileName"); }

MitoConfig mitoCfg = new MitoConfig(); File file = new File(mitoCfg.getPrintClientDataPath()+"/"+fileName); if (!file.exists()) { throw new ServletException("File " + file.getAbsolutePath() + " not found"); }

boolean getName = "Y".equals(request.getParameter("GETNAME")); if (getName) { doDownloadFilename(request, response, file.getName()); } else { boolean isLast = "Y".equals(request.getParameter("LAST")); if (isLast) { MitoDownloadCache.INSTANCE.removeFileList(fileId); }

doDownload(request, response, file); file.delete(); }}

Clutter

Default constructor without implementation

Variables not used

Functions never called

Useless comments

Kill’em all!

Selector Arguments

Avoid boolean arguments

Breaks SRPSplit method in two methods

getLocalPrintService(jobId, data, false);

public static PrintServiceInterface getLocalPrintService( String jobId, IRawData data, boolean isStandAlone) throws Exception{ //...}

public static PrintServiceInterface getEmbeddedLocalPrintService( String jobId, IRawData data) throws Exception{ //...}

public static PrintServiceInterface getStandAloneLocalPrintService( String jobId, IRawData data) throws Exception{ //...}

Explanatory Vars

Avoid ‘artistic’ programming

Break the calculations up

Matcher match = headerPattern.matcher(line);if(match.find()) headers.put(match.group(1), match.group(2));

Matcher match = headerPattern.matcher(line);if(match.find()){ String key = match.group(1); String value = match.group(2); headers.put(key.toLowerCase(), value);}

Magic Numbers

Replace Magic Numbers with Named Constants

m_tx1.setPageHeight(16837);m_tx1.setPageWidth(11906);

m_tx1.setPageMarginB((int)(0.35 * 1440));m_tx1.setPageMarginL((int)(0.35 * 1440));m_tx1.setPageMarginR((int)(0.35 * 1440));m_tx1.setPageMarginT((int)(0.35 * 1440));m_tx2.setPageMarginB((int)(0.35 * 1440));m_tx2.setPageMarginL((int)(0.35 * 1440));m_tx2.setPageMarginR((int)(0.35 * 1440));m_tx2.setPageMarginT((int)(0.35 * 1440));

final static double PAGE_HEIGHT = 16837;final static double PAGE_WIDTH = 11906;final static int MARGIN = (int)(0.35 * 1440;)

m_tx1.setPageHeight(PAGE_HEIGHT);m_tx1.setPageWidth(PAGE_WIDTH);

m_tx1.setPageMarginB(MARGIN);m_tx1.setPageMarginL(MARGIN);m_tx1.setPageMarginR(MARGIN);m_tx1.setPageMarginT(MARGIN);m_tx2.setPageMarginB(MARGIN);m_tx2.setPageMarginL(MARGIN);m_tx2.setPageMarginR(MARGIN);m_tx2.setPageMarginT(MARGIN);

Negative Conditionals

Negatives is harder to understand than positives

Avoid negatives Conditionals

if (!buffer.shouldNotCompact()) { //...}

if(!envWarrantsEnabled) sqlSelect.addWhere(new SqlNot(new SqlEq("LI_TYPE", "ENV")));

if (buffer.shouldCompact()) { //...}

if(envWarrantsDisabled) sqlSelect.addWhere(new SqlNot(new SqlEq("LI_TYPE", "ENV")));

Names

Descriptive Names

Choice descriptive namesReevaluate the appropriateness of the names

public int x() { int q = 0; int z = 0; for (int kk = 0; kk < 10; kk++) { if (l[z] == 10) { q += 10 + (l[z + 1] + l[z + 2]); z += 1; } else if (l[z] + l[z + 1] == 10) { q += 10 + l[z + 2]; z += 2; } else { q += l[z] + l[z + 1]; z += 2; } } return q;}

public int score() { int score = 0; int frame = 0; for (int frameNumber = 0; frameNumber < 10; frameNumber++) { if (isStrike(frame)) { score += 10 + nextTwoBallsForStrike(frame); frame += 1; } else if (isSpare(frame)) { score += 10 + nextBallForSpare(frame); frame += 2; } else { score += twoBallsInFrame(frame); frame += 2; } } return score;}

Unambiguous Names

Choose names that make the workings of a function or variable unambiguous

public boolean stateMachine(int smStatus) { //...}

public boolean doAction() { //...}

public boolean moveStateMachineToStatus(int smStatus) { //...}

public boolean doNextStepInProviderTechnique() { //...}

Avoid Encodings

Names should not be encoded with type or scope information

Hungarian Notation as obsolete legacy

protected int m_FilesCount; // Numero files contenuti nel jobprotected int m_VolumesCount; // Numero dischi richiesti dal job (1 sola copia)protected long m_TotalSize; // Size totale in byte del jobprotected int m_VolumesDone; // Numero dischi completatiprotected String m_VolDoneList; // Lista dischi completati (durante esecuzione)protected ArrayList m_labelFields; // Nomi/valori campi da utilizzare in labelprivate long m_LastModTime; // Data/ora modifica file informativo del jobprotected boolean isOnDisk;

protected int filesCount; // Numero files contenuti nel jobprotected int volumesCount; // Numero dischi richiesti dal job (1 sola copia)protected long totalSize; // Size totale in byte del jobprotected int volumesDone; // Numero dischi completatiprotected String volDoneList; // Lista dischi completati (durante esecuzione)protected ArrayList labelFields; // Nomi/valori campi da utilizzare in labelprivate long lastModTime; // Data/ora modifica file informativo del jobprotected boolean isOnDisk;

Describe Side Effects

Names should describe everything that a function, variable, or class is or does

public DiskWriterJobs getJobs() { if (m_Jobs == null) { m_Jobs = new DiskWriterJobs(this); } return m_Jobs;}

public DiskWriterJobs createOrReturnJobs() { if (m_Jobs == null) { m_Jobs = new DiskWriterJobs(this); } return m_Jobs;}

Tests

Insufficient Tests

How many tests? A test suite should test everything that could possibly break

Use a Coverage Tool: Java

EMMACoberturaClover

.NET PartCoverC/C++ BullseyeCoverage gcov

Beware of Coverage Results

Don’t Skip Trivial Tests

They are better than documentation

Easy today, maybe hard tomorrow

Exhaustively Test Near Bug

Bugs tend to congregate

Tests Should Be Fast

If slow, launched less frequentely

If launched less frequentely, big change between launches and difficult to know where and when an error was introduced
