Discussion on: A function’s intent should be revealed by its name

Good article. The correct naming of variables and methods is one of the most important and fundamental parts of programming that many developers still get wrong.

In some cases however, it is not possible to name the method correct for every place where it is used. In these cases adding a variable with the correct name before the if statement will increase the readability a lot.

bool openContactsScreenWhenCustomerIsCompany = handleClickItem(customer);

if (openContactsScreenWhenCustomerIsCompany) {
return;
}
