Code Smells

Code smells are signs in software code that indicate potential problems or areas that may cause difficulties in future maintenance or development. They don't necessarily mean the code is broken, but suggest that it could be poorly structured, overly complex, or inefficient. Recognizing these patterns helps developers identify parts of the code that might lead to bugs, slow down updates, or become hard to understand. Addressing code smells improves the overall quality, making the codebase easier to manage, extend, and ensure long-term reliability.
