Too many functions with default value parameters are unproductive
Production Risk
Too many functions with default value parameters are unproductive
This code insight counts a violation each time parameter has a default value
“class CastTest
{
public function addData( $param0, $param1, $param2, $param3, $param4, $param5, $param5, $param6, $param7, $param8, $param9, $param10)
{
}
}”
Why you should care
Long parameter lists can indicate that a new object should be created to wrap the numerous parameters. In other words, always try to group the parameters together.
