Cognitive Complexity
Cognitive Complexity is a measure of how difficult a unit of code is to intuitively understand. Unlike Cyclomatic Complexity, which determines how difficult your code will be to test, Cognitive Complexity tells you how difficult your code will be to read and comprehend.
A method's cognitive complexity is based on a few simple rules:
- Code is not considered more complex when it uses shorthand that the language provides for collapsing multiple statements into one
- Code is considered more complex for each "break in the linear flow of the code"
- Code is considered more complex when "flow breaking structures are nested"

- Exclude checks
Checks that exactly one space is used between a method name and the first argument for method calls without parentheses.
Alternatively, extra spaces can be added to align the argument with something on a preceding or following line, if the AllowForAlignment config parameter is true.
Example:
# bad
something x
something y, z
something'hello'
# good
something x
something y, z
