Impact AnalysisIntroduction of new BadDesign class with public computation method📢 Medium 🔗 Impacts API 🔄 Impacts behavior A new class BadDesign with a public method messyFunction($a, $b) is now available, allowing users to perform a specific numeric computation based on the provided arguments. This expands the available functionality for users or developers who interact with this codebase. Test the messyFunction method with a variety of input values for $a and $b, including boundary and edge cases. Verify that the output matches expected results and that no runtime errors occur for unusual or invalid inputs. 🔍 Related Files

🛠️ Refactor suggestion
Consider breaking down the method into smaller, focused methods.
The messyFunction method violates the Single Responsibility Principle by performing multiple unrelated operations. This makes it difficult to test, understand, and maintain.
Here's a refactored version following SOLID principles:
public function messyFunction($a, $b): int
{
$sum = $this->calculateNestedSum();
$sum += $this->applyConditionalCalculation($a, $b);
return $sum;
}This approach:
- Improves readability and maintainability
- Reduces cyclomatic complexity
- Makes individual operations testable
- Follows the Single Responsibility Principle

In bad.php from lines 7 to 36, the messyFunction is too long and complex,
violating the Single Responsibility Principle. Refactor by extracting the nested
loops calculation and the conditional logic into separate private methods, then
call these methods from messyFunction to compute and combine their results. This
will reduce complexity, improve readability, and make the code easier to test
and maintain.

Extract nested loop logic into a separate method.
This nested loop structure increases complexity and makes the method harder to understand and test.
- // Long method with nested loops — codesize + design
- $sum = 0;
- for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
- for ($j = 0; $j < 10; $j++) {
- $sum += $i * $j;
- }
- }
+ $sum = $this->calculateNestedSum();Add this private method to the class:
/**
* Calculate sum using nested loops.
*
* @return int The calculated sum
*/
private function calculateNestedSum(): int
{
$sum = 0;
for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
for ($j = 0; $j < 10; $j++) {
$sum += $i * $j;
}
}
return $sum;

In bad.php around lines 13 to 19, the nested loops calculating the sum increase
method complexity. Extract this nested loop logic into a new private method
named calculateNestedSum that returns the computed sum. Replace the original
nested loop code with a call to this new method to improve readability and
testability.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion
Reduce cyclomatic complexity by extracting conditional logic.
The nested conditional structure with multiple branches significantly increases the method's complexity, making it harder to understand and maintain.

- if ($a > 10) {
- if ($b < 5) {
- for ($k = 0; $k < 5; $k++) {
- $sum += $k;

- } else {
- while ($b > 0) {
- $sum -= $b;
- $b--;
- }
- }
- }
+ $sum += $this->applyConditionalCalculation($a, $b);Add this private method to the class:
/**
* Apply conditional calculation based on parameters.
*
* @param int $a First parameter
* @param int $b Second parameter
* @return int The adjustment to be added to sum
*/
private function applyConditionalCalculation(int $a, int $b): int
{
if ($a <= 10) {
return 0;
}
if ($b < 5) {
return $this->calculateSequentialSum();
}
return $this->calculateDecrementSum($b);
}
private function calculateSequentialSum(): int
{
$adjustment = 0;
for ($k = 0; $k < 5; $k++) {
$adjustment += $k;
}
return $adjustment;
}
private function calculateDecrementSum(int $b): int
{
$adjustment = 0;
while ($b > 0) {
$adjustment -= $b;
$b--;
}
return $adjustment;
}🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In bad.php around lines 21 to 33, the nested conditional logic increases
cyclomatic complexity. Refactor by extracting this logic into a new private
method named applyConditionalCalculation that takes $a and $b as parameters and
returns the adjustment to be added to $sum. Also create two helper private
methods: calculateSequentialSum for the for-loop sum and calculateDecrementSum
for the while-loop decrement sum. Replace the original nested conditionals with
a call to applyConditionalCalculation and add its return value to $sum.

Remove unused variable.
The variable $unused is declared but never used, creating dead code.
