How Many Lines Of Code Should A Function Have?
"The secret to retiring early and true financial freedom:"

Writing code is definitely an art. It is far from being something automatic. This is so true due to the fact that every software developer writes a different code, based on their personal experience and how they perceive it is the best practice for writing it.
So, one of the most asked questions I receive is how a code should be written and what are the best practices for writing code.
In this video, I'll discuss a little bit more about how many lines of code should a function have.
This is such a particular code, and a quote from the Code Complete Book sums it up really well:
"From time to time, a complex algorithm will lead to a longer routine, and in those circumstances, the routine should be allowed to grow organically up to 100–200 lines. (A line is a noncomment, nonblank line of source code.) Decades of evidence say that routines of such length are no more error-prone than shorter routines. Let issues such as depth of nesting, number of variables, and other complexity-related considerations dictate the length of the routine rather than imposing a length restriction per se."
