Nested loops can slow down innovation

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This code insight detects loops within a loop (for, do, while, foreach, etc.). Depending on thresholds observed in the benchmark of thousands of applications and billions lines of code, Highlight accounts penalty points to the given scanned files.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”5362″ img_size=”full”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
