Straight-line Code When statements’ order matters
Make dependencies obvious Name methods according to
dependencies Use method parameters
Document the control flow if needed 4
data = GetData();groupedData = GroupData(data);PrintGroupedData(groupedData);
GetData();GroupData();Print();

Straight-line Code (2) When statements’ order does not matter Make code read from top to bottom
like a newspaper Group related statements together Make clear boundaries for
dependencies Use blank lines to separate
dependencies
User separate method

Report CreateReport(){ var report = new Report(); report.Footer = CreateReportFooter(report); report.Content = CreateReportContent(report);
report.Header = CraeteReportHeader(report); return report;}
ReportContent CreateReportContent(Report report){ ...}

Straight-line Code – Summary
The most important thing to consider when organizing straight-line code is Ordering dependencies
Dependencies should be made obvious Through the use of good routine
names, parameter lists and comments
If code doesn’t have order dependencies Keep related statements together

![Page 9: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Using Control
ConstructsUsing Conditional
Statements
![Page 10: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Using Conditional Statements
Always use { and } for the conditional statements body, even when it is a single line:
Why omitting the brackets could be harmful?
This is misleading code + misleading formatting
10
if (condition){ DoSometing();}
if (condition) DoSomething(); DoAnotherThing();DoDifferentThing();
![Page 11: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Using Conditional Statements (2)
Always put the normal (expected) condition after the if clause.
Start from most common cases first, then go to the unusual ones
11
var responce = GetHttpWebResponce();if (responce.Code == Code.OK){ ...}else{ if (responce.Code == Code.NotFound) { ... }}
var responce = GetHttpWebResponce();if (responce.Code == Code.NotFound){ ...}else{ if (response.Code == Code.OK) { ... }}
![Page 12: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Using Conditional Statements (3)
Avoid comparing to true or false:
Always consider the else case If needed, document why the else
isn’t necessary
12
if (HasErrors){ ...}
if (HasErrors == true){ ...}
if (parserState != States.Finished){ // ...}else{ // Ignore all content once the pareser has finished}
![Page 13: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Using Conditional Statements (4)
Avoid double negation
Write if clause with a meaningful statement
Use meaningful boolean expressions, which read like sentence
13
if (HasErrors){ DoSometing();}
if (!HasNoError){ DoSomething();}
if (HasErrors){ DoSometing();}
if (!HasError);else{ DoSometing(); }
![Page 14: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Using Conditional Statements (5)
Be aware of copy/paste problems in if-else bodies
14
Person p = null;if (SomeCondition){ p = GetSomePerson();}else{ p = GetOtherPerson();}
p.SendMail();p.SendSms();
if (SomeCondition){ var p = GetSomePerson(); p.SendMail(); p.SendSms();}else{ var p = GetOtherPerson(); p.SendMail(); p.SendSms();}
![Page 15: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Use Simple Conditions Do not use complex if conditions
You can always simplify them by introducing boolean variables or boolean methods
Incorrect example:
Complex boolean expressions are harmful
How you will find the problem if you get IndexOutOfRangeException?
15
if (x > 0 && y > 0 && x < Width-1 && y < Height-1 && matrix[x, y] == 0 && matrix[x-1, y] == 0 && matrix[x+1, y] == 0 && matrix[x, y-1] == 0 && matrix[x, y+1] == 0 && !visited[x, y])
![Page 16: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Simplifying Boolean Conditions
The last example can be easily refactored into self-documenting code:
Now the code is: Easy to read – the logic of the
condition is clear Easy to debug – breakpoint can be
put at the if
16
bool inRange = x > 0 && y > 0 && x < Width-1 && y < Height-1;bool emptyCellAndNeighbours = matrix[x, y] == 0 && matrix[x-1, y] == 0 && matrix[x+1, y] == 0 && matrix[x, y-1] == 0 && matrix[x, y+1] == 0;if (inRange && emptyCellAndNeighbours && !visited[x, y])
![Page 17: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Simplifying Boolean Conditions (2)
Use object oriented approach
17
class Maze{ Cell CurrentCell {get; set;} IList<Cell> VisitedCells {get;} IList<Cell> NeighbourCells {get;} Size Size {get;} bool IsCurrentCellInRange() { return Size.Contains(CurrentCell); } bool IsCurrentCellVisited() { return VisitedCells.Contains(CurrentCell); } (continues on the next slide)
![Page 18: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Simplifying Boolean Conditions (3)
Now the code: Models the real scenario Stays close to the problem domain 18
bool AreNeighbourCellsEmpty() { ... }
bool ShouldVisitCurrentCell() { return IsCurrentCellInRange() && CurrentCell.IsEmpty() && AreNeighbourCellsEmpty() && !IsCurrentCellVisited() }}
![Page 19: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Use Decision Tables Sometimes a decision table can be used for simplicity
19
var table = new Hashtable();table.Add("A", new AWorker());table.Add("B", new BWorker());table.Add("C", new CWorker());
string key = GetWorkerKey();
var worker = table[key];if (worker != null){ ... worker.Work(); ...}
![Page 20: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Positive Boolean Expressions
Starting with a positive expression improves readability
Use De Morgan’s laws for negative checks
20
if (IsValid){ DoSometing();}else{ DoSometingElse();}
if (!IsValid){ DoSometingElse();}else{ DoSometing();}
if (!(IsValid && IsVisible))
if (!IsValid || !IsVisible)
![Page 21: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Use Parentheses for Simplification
Avoid complex boolean conditions without parenthesis
Using parenthesis helps readability as well as ensure correctness
Too many parenthesis have to be avoided as well. Consider separate boolean methods in those cases
21
if (a < b && b < c || c == d)
if (( a < b && b < c ) || c == d)
![Page 22: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Boolean Expression Evaluation
Most high level languages evaluate from left to right and stop evaluation as soon as some of the boolean operands is satisfied
Useful when checking for null
There are languages that does not follow this “short-circuit” rule
22
if (FalseCondition && OtherCondition)if (TrueCondition || OtherCondition)
= true
= false
if (list != null && list.Count > 0)
![Page 23: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Numeric expressions as operands
Write numeric boolean expressions as they are presented on a number line Contained in an interval
Outside of an interval
23
if (x > a && b > x)if (a < x && x < b)
a bx
if (a > x || x > b)if (x < a || b < x)
a bx x
![Page 24: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Avoid Deep Nesting of Blocks
Deep nesting of conditional statements and loops makes the code unclear Deeply nested code is complex and
hard to read and understand Usually you can extract portions of
the code in separate methods This simplifies the logic of the code
Using good method name makes the code self-documenting
24
![Page 25: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Deep Nesting – Example
25
(continues on the next slide)
if (maxElem != Int32.MaxValue){ if (arr[i] < arr[i + 1]) { if (arr[i + 1] < arr[i + 2]) { if (arr[i + 2] < arr[i + 3]) { maxElem = arr[i + 3]; } else { maxElem = arr[i + 2]; } } else { if (arr[i + 1] < arr[i + 3]) { maxElem = arr[i + 3]; } else { maxElem = arr[i + 1]; } } }
![Page 26: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Deep Nesting – Example (2)
26
else { if (arr[i] < arr[i + 2]) { if (arr[i + 2] < arr[i + 3]) { maxElem = arr[i + 3]; } else { maxElem = arr[i + 2]; } } else { if (arr[i] < arr[i + 3]) { maxElem = arr[i + 3]; } else { maxElem = arr[i]; } } }}
![Page 27: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Avoiding Deep Nesting – Example
27
private static int Max(int i, int j){ if (i < j) { return j; } else { return i; }}
private static int Max(int i, int j, int k){ if (i < j) { int maxElem = Max(j, k); return maxElem; } else { int maxElem = Max(i, k); return maxElem; }} (continues on the next slide)
![Page 28: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Avoiding Deep Nesting – Example
28
private static int FindMax(int[] arr, int i){ if (arr[i] < arr[i + 1]) { int maxElem = Max(arr[i + 1], arr[i + 2], arr[i + 3]); return maxElem; } else { int maxElem = Max(arr[i], arr[i + 2], arr[i + 3]); return maxElem; }}
if (maxElem != Int32.MaxValue) { maxElem = FindMax(arr, i);}
![Page 29: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Using Case Statement Choose the most effective ordering of
cases Put the normal (usual) case first
Order cases by frequency
Put the most unusual (exceptional) case last
Order cases alphabetically or numerically
Keep the actions of each case simple Extract complex logic in separate
methods Use the default clause in a case
statement or the last else in a chain of if-else to trap errors
29
![Page 30: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Incorrect Case Statement
30
void ProcessNextChar(char ch){ switch (parseState) { case InTag: if (ch == ">") { Console.WriteLine("Found tag: {0}", tag); text = ""; parseState = ParseState.OutOfTag; } else { tag = tag + ch; } break; case OutOfTag: … }}
![Page 31: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Improved Case Statement
31
void ProcessNextChar(char ch){ switch (parseState) { case InTag: ProcessCharacterInTag(ch); break; case OutOfTag: ProcessCharacterOutOfTag(ch); break; default: throw new Exception("Invalid parse state: " + parseState); }}
![Page 32: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Case – Best Practices Avoid using fallthroughs When you do use them – document them well
32
switch (c) { case 1: case 2: DoSomething(); // FALLTHROUGH case 17: DoSomethingElse();
break; case 5: case 43: DoOtherThings(); break; }
![Page 33: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Case – Best Practices(2) Overlapping control structures is evil:
33
switch ( InputVar ){ case 'A': if ( test ) { // statement 1 // statement 2 case 'B': // statement 3 // statement 4 ... } ... break;}
![Page 34: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Control Statements – Summary
For simple if-else-s, pay attention to the order of the if and else clauses Make sure the nominal case is clear
For if-then-else chains and case statements, choose the most readable order
Optimize boolean statements to improve readability
Use the default clause in a case statement or the last else in a chain of if-s to trap errors

Using LoopsChoose appropriate
loop typeand don’t forget to
breakSource: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mismyselfmelissa/3648505061/
![Page 36: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Using Loops Choosing the correct type of loop:
Use for loop to repeat some block of code a certain number of times
Use foreach loop to process each element of an array or a collection
Use while / do-while loop when you don't know how many times a block should be repeated
Avoid deep nesting of loops You can extract the loop body in a
new method 36
![Page 37: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Loops: Best Practices Keep loops simple
This helps readers of your code
Treat the inside of the loop as it were a routine Don’t make the reader look inside
the loop to understand the loop control
Think of a loop as a black box:
37
while (!inputFile.EndOfFile() && !hasErrors){
}
(black box code)
![Page 38: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Loops: Best Practices (2)
Keep loop’s housekeeping at the start or the end of the loop block
Use meaningful variable names to make loops readable
38
while (index < 10){ ... index += 2;}
while (index < 10){ ... index += 2; ...}
for(i=2000, i<2011, i++){ for(j=1, j<=12, j++) ...}
for (year=2000, year<2011, year++){ for(month=1, month<=12, month++) ...}
![Page 39: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Loops: Best Practices (3)
Avoid empty loops
Be aware of your language (loop) semantics C# – access to modified closure
39
do { inputChar = Console.Read();} while (inputChar != '\n');
while ((inputChar = Console.Read()) != '\n') {}
![Page 40: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Loops: Tips on for Loop Don’t explicitly change the index value to force the loop to stop Use while loop with break instead
Put only the controlling statements in the for header
40
for( i = 0, sum = 0; i < length; sum += arr[i], i++){ ;}
sum = 0;for( i = 0; i < length; i++){ sum += arr[i];}
![Page 41: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Loops: Tips on for loop(2)
Avoid code that depends on the loop index’s final value
41
for (i = 0; i < length; i++){ if (array[i].id == key) { break; }}
// Lots of code...
return (i >= length);
bool found = false;for (i = 0; i < length; i++){ if (array[i].id == key) { found = true; break; }}
// Lots of code...
return found;

Loops: break and continue
Use continue for tests at the top of a loop to avoid nested if-s
Avoid loops with lots of brakes scattered trough it
Use break and continue only with caution
42
![Page 43: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
How Long Should a Loop Be
Try to make the loops short enough to view all at once
Use methods to shorten the loop body
Make long loops especially clear Avoid deep nesting in loops
43
![Page 44: 8. Control Flow, Conditional Statements and Loops - Correctly Organizing the Control Flow Logicops](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/555c3e14d8b42a0b038b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Return statement Use return when it enhances readability
Use return to avoid deep nesting
Avoid multiple return-s in long methods
45
void ParseString(string str){ if (string != null) { // Lots of code }}
void ParseString(string str){ if (string != null) { return; }
// Lots of code}

Recursion Useful when you want to walk a tree / graph-like structures
Be aware of infinite recursion or indirect recursion
Recursion example:
46
void PrintWindowsRecursive(Window w){ w.Print() foreach(childWindow in w.ChildWindows) { PrintWindowsRecursive(childWindow); }}

Recursion Tips Ensure that recursion stops Verify that recursion is not very exhausting Check the occupied system
resources
You can always use stack classes and iteration
Don’t use recursion when there is better linear (iteration based) solution Factorials
Fibonacci Numbers
Some languages optimize tail-call recursions

Goto Avoid gotos, because they have a tendency to introduce spaghetti code
“A Case against theGO TO Statement.” by Edsger Dijkstra
Use gotos as a last resort if they make the code more maintainable

Homework (2)
51
public void Cook() { Potato potato = GetPotato(); Carrot carrot = GetCarrot(); Bowl bowl; Peel(potato); Peel(carrot); bowl = GetBowl(); Cut(potato); Cut(carrot); bowl.Add(carrot); bowl.Add(potato); } private Potato GetPotato() { //... }}

Homework (3)
Refactor the following if statements:
52
Potato potato;//... if (potato != null) if(!potato.HasNotBeenPeeled && !potato.IsRotten)
Cook(potato);
if (x >= MIN_X && (x =< MAX_X && ((MAX_Y >= y && MIN_Y <= y) && !shouldNotVisitCell))){ VisitCell();}

Homework (4)Refactor the following loop:
53
int i=0;for (i = 0; i < 100;) { if (i % 10 == 0) { Console.WriteLine(array[i]); if ( array[i] == expectedValue ) { i = 666; } i++; } else { Console.WriteLine(array[i]); i++; }}// More code hereif (i == 666){ Console.WriteLine("Value Found");}
