Sibling aspects

Code smells related to a method or function definition.

Method-level code smells indicate poorly defined method and or functions (too long method or functions, or functions with too many parameters) in your source code.

Subaspects

MethodLength
ParameterListLength

Example

def do_nothing(var1, var2, var3, var4, var5, var6, var7):
    pass

Importance

Make your functions and methods unambiguous, easy to read and debug by reducing the number of parameters and length of your methods and functions.

How to fix this

A fix for this would simply consist of redefining the functions (and or method), making them shorter and reducing the number of parameters (maybe by creating more functions or using libraries).
