Which code is better ?

// Check to see if the employee is eligible for full benefits 

if((employee.flags & HOURLY_FLAG) && (empoyee.age > 65))

or this ?

if(employee.isEligibleForFullBenefits())

Absolutely the second one is more readable and it takes you less time to understand ! ⏰

#CleanCode #Tip2

Don't be afraid to make a name long.

A long descriptive name is better than a short enigmatic name.

A long descriptive name is better than a long descriptive comment. ✔️

Use a naming convention that allows multiple words to be easily read in the function names, and then make use of those multiple words to give the function a name that says what it does.
