Coding Best Practices or Principles Explained:

Coding best practices, or coding principles, are guidelines that help developers write clean, efficient, and maintainable code.
By following these practices, developers can improve the readability, performance, and overall quality of their code.
It's important to adapt these principles based on the specific programming language, framework, or project requirements.
Some common coding best practices include
- Keeping code simple and readable
- Avoiding code duplication
- Writing modular and loosely coupled code.
- Using meaningful comments.
- Writing self-explanatory code.
- Following coding style and conventions.
- Testing code, handling errors and exceptions gracefully.
- Optimizing for performance.
- Using version control.
- Regularly refactoring and cleaning up code.

"Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand." - Martin Fowler
