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"

CyclomaticComplexity
Since: 0.1
Complexity is determined by the number of decision points in a method plus one for the method entry. The decision points are 'if', 'while', 'for', and 'case labels'. Generally, 1-4 is low complexity, 5-7 indicates moderate complexity, 8-10 is high complexity, and 11+ is very high complexity.
Example
// Cyclomatic Complexity = 11
class Foo {
1 public function example() {
2 if ($a == $b) {
3 if ($a1 == $b1) {
fiddle();
4 } elseif ($a2 == $b2) {
fiddle();
} else {
fiddle();
}
5 } elseif ($c == $d) {
6 while ($c == $d) {
fiddle();
}
7 } elseif ($e == $f) {
8 for ($n = 0; $n < $h; $n++) {
fiddle();
}
} else {
switch ($z) {
9 case 1:
fiddle();
break;
10 case 2:
fiddle();
break;
11 case 3:
fiddle();
break;
default:
fiddle();
break;
}

Reduce the number of returns of this function 4, down to the maximum allowed 3. Open
public function get()

Having too many return statements in a function increases the function's essential complexity because the flow of execution is broken each time a return statement is encountered. This makes it harder to read and understand the logic of the function.
Noncompliant Code Example
With the default threshold of 3:
function myFunction(){ // Noncompliant as there are 4 return statements if (condition1) { return true; } else { if (condition2) { return false; } else { return true; } } return false; }
TODO found Open
$this->data = json_decode($this->data, true); // @TODO catch errors from decode
- Exclude checks
Define a constant instead of duplicating this literal "cached" 4 times. Open
if (!isset($this->data['cached'])) { // if no cache time is set...
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
Duplicated string literals make the process of refactoring error-prone, since you must be sure to update all occurrences.
On the other hand, constants can be referenced from many places, but only need to be updated in a single place.
Noncompliant Code Example
With the default threshold of 3:
function run() { prepare('action1'); // Non-Compliant - 'action1' is duplicated 3 times execute('action1'); release('action1'); }
Compliant Solution
ACTION_1 = 'action1'; function run() { prepare(ACTION_1); execute(ACTION_1); release(ACTION_1); }
Exceptions
To prevent generating some false-positives, literals having less than 5 characters are excluded.
