What is Code Efficiency?
Code efficiency is a broad term used to represent the reliability, speed, and programming methodology used in developing code for an application. Code efficiency is directly related to algorithmic efficiency and the speed of runtime execution for software. It is the key element for high performance. The goal of code efficiency is to keep resource consumption and execution time as low as possible, with minimal risk to the business or operating environment. The software product quality can be called up and evaluated with the aid of the efficiency of the code used.
Code efficiency plays an important role in applications in a high-speed environment where performance and scalability are paramount.
One of the best coding practices is to ensure good code efficiency. Well-developed programming codes should be able to handle complex algorithms.
Code efficiency recommendations include:
To remove unnecessary code or code that leads to redundant processing
To use optimal memory and non-volatile storage
To ensure the best speed or run time for the algorithm to complete
To use reusable components whenever possible
Use of error and exception handling in all software layers, such as user interface, logic and data flow
Create programming code that ensures data integrity and consistency
Developing program code that corresponds to the design logic and flow
To apply coding practices applicable to the associated software
Optimize the use of data access and data management practices
How to use the best keywords, data types, and variables, as well as other available programming concepts, to implement the associated algorithm
