00:00:00,070 --> 00:00:03,450
The concept of bad smells. What are bad smells? Well, we
2
00:00:03,450 --> 00:00:06,700
mentioned earlier that refactoring is typically applied when there is something
3
00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:09,130
that does not look right, does not feel right in the
4
00:00:09,130 --> 00:00:12,260
code. And that's exactly what bad smells are. Bad smells, or
5
00:00:12,260 --> 00:00:15,320
code smells if you wish, are symptoms in the code of
6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,868
a program that might indicate deeper problems. So there might be
7
00:00:18,868 --> 00:00:21,775
parts of my system, classes in my systems, that just don't
8
00:00:21,775 --> 00:00:25,309
smell right, and it feels like there's, there might be something wrong
9
00:00:25,309 --> 00:00:29,010
with them. And if you are an experienced developer just like Brad,
10
00:00:29,010 --> 00:00:31,320
you'll be able to figure out there is something wrong with the
11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,950
classes. You'll be able to smell that there's something wrong and you'll
12
00:00:33,950 --> 00:00:36,880
do something about it. And I want to mention one more, just to make
13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,270
sure that we're all on the same page here. That these bad
14
00:00:39,270 --> 00:00:43,070
smells are usually not bugs and don't prevent the program from functioning. They
15
00:00:43,070 --> 00:00:46,190
however indicate weaknesses in the design of the system that might cause
16
00:00:46,190 --> 00:00:48,480
problems during maintenance. In other words,
17
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:50,440
they might make the code less maintainable,
18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,650
harder to understand, and so on. Just like refactorings,
19
00:00:53,650 --> 00:00:56,610
there's also many possible different bad smells. So what
20
00:00:56,610 --> 00:00:59,160
I'm providing here is just a possible list of
21
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,190
some very common bad smells. And you can find plenty
22
00:01:02,190 --> 00:01:04,349
of information on this online. So what I want
23
00:01:04,349 --> 00:01:06,910
to do next is just to cover before finishing the
24
00:01:06,910 --> 00:01:08,700
lesson a few of those to show you some
25
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:11,140
examples of smells and what you can do about them.
