I was asked this question : I was not able to answer – Any answers here?
What can be said about a java class which has 1000 lines of code , with 1-n methods having 100 lines and n+1 to m methods having 200 lines of code?
I thought, Classes should be okay to have 1000 lines of code and methods are also okay to have 100-200 lines of code – So I didn’t answer considering that the class is perfectly okay.
Are there known compile time performance related to the number of lines a java class has? or a java method has ? are there any standards – if so, how can one justify technically?
thanks!
What can be said about this class it that it must be refactored. It has too many lines of code per class, and per method. It doesn’t cause any technical problems, but it causes readability and support problems.
