Code Maintainability

Code Maintainability

1. if a program needs to be defensive against attacks you need to keep the code maintained and up to date

2. API and code changes, which means that programs will need to adapt to complement new requirements.

3. Comments and indentation are two methods to provide information for future users or programmers that may be required to maintain the code.

   • Comments allow future programmers to understand what this part of code is supposed to do.
     • to inform reader of any bugs
       • stop a line of code from executing
   • Indentation groups together a function
     • makes the code easier to read and understand
