When to Break Function for Clean Code

  1. Single Responsibility Principle (SRP): A function should only have one responsibility. If a function is doing multiple tasks, it may need to be split into smaller functions.

  2. Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY): If a code block or section is repeated in multiple places throughout the codebase, it should be abstracted into a separate function.

  3. Keep Functions Small: Functions should be small and focused to make them easier to understand, debug, and maintain.

  4. Use Descriptive Function Names: Functions should have descriptive names that accurately reflect their purpose and what they do.

  5. Testability: Functions that are small and focused are easier to test than larger, more complex functions. Breaking a function into smaller parts can make it easier to test and ensure that it works as intended.
