Java Coding Standards

Core Principles

1. Simplicity: Simple, understandable code
2. Readability: Readability over cleverness
3. Maintainability: Code that's easy to maintain
4. Testability: Code that's easy to test
5. SOLID: Follow SOLID principles for object-oriented design
6. DRY: Don't Repeat Yourself - but don't overdo it

General Rules

• Early Returns: Use early returns to avoid nesting
• Descriptive Names: Meaningful names for classes, methods, and variables
• Minimal Changes: Only change relevant code parts
• No Over-Engineering: No unnecessary complexity
• Immutability: Prefer immutable objects where possible
• Minimal Comments: Code should be self-explanatory. No redundant comments!
