====== Code Smell ======

A code smell is a **hint** that something //might// be wrong somewhere in your code. I have seen various versions on the Internet listing what code is considered code smell. I agree with some, don't agree with others. Here is what __//**I consider to be code smell**//__:

  * Duplicate Code
  * Long Method (any method longer than 30 lines) 
  * Large Class (> 1000 lines of "code, comments, and blank lines" when properly formatted)
  * Parameter List with more than 5 parameters
  * Methods that do not contain a verb
  * Properties that do contain a verb
  * Same Name, Different Meaning
  * Excessive Overloading
  * Classes that do not do **//just one thing//**
  * Too many comments. The code itself should explain what it is doing. Comments should explain business rules or why a particular algorithm was used.
  * Long Class, Method, or Property names
  * Temporary Fields
  * Too many conditionals
  * Double-Negatives
  * "Magic" Numbers
  * More than one type (class, interface, enum, etc.) per file.
