Variable declaration and memory management
Managing memory efficiently is crucial, especially in scenarios where your application deals with memory-intensive operations. To write clean methods in such cases, follow the practices described next.
Declaring variables close to their usage
Declare variables as close as possible to their usage. This makes it easier for developers to understand the purpose of a variable and its scope. Additionally, it can help with efficient memory management by reducing the lifetime of variables. Here’s an example:
public void ProcessData(){
int total = 0;
// Process a large data set
for (int i = 0; i < data.Length; i++)
{
total += data[i];
}
// Use 'total' for further processing
// ...
}
