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"

Avoid using undefined variables such as '$eleDesc' which will lead to PHP notices.

UndefinedVariable

Since: 2.8.0

Detects when a variable is used that has not been defined before.

Example

class Foo
{
    private function bar()
    {
        // $message is undefined
        echo $message;
    }
}

The method render uses an else expression. Else clauses are basically not necessary and you can simplify the code by not using them.
Open

                } else {
                    $ret .= '<tr><td style="vertical-align: top; width: 250px;">';
                    $ret .= '<span style="font-weight: bold;">' . $ele->getCaption() . '</span>';
                    if (isset($eleDesc) && $eleDesc == $ele->getDescription()) {
                        $ret .= '<br><br><span style="font-weight: normal;">' . $eleDesc . '</span>';

ElseExpression

Since: 1.4.0

An if expression with an else branch is basically not necessary. You can rewrite the conditions in a way that the else clause is not necessary and the code becomes simpler to read. To achieve this, use early return statements, though you may need to split the code it several smaller methods. For very simple assignments you could also use the ternary operations.

Example

class Foo
{
    public function bar($flag)
    {
        if ($flag) {
            // one branch
        } else {
            // another branch
        }
    }
}

A file should declare new symbols (classes, functions, constants, etc.) and cause no other side effects, or it should execute logic with side effects, but should not do both. The first symbol is defined on line 30 and the first side effect is on line 23.
