Method Best Practices

When designing methods:

• Keep each method focused on a single responsibility.
• Use descriptive names.
  Examples of names are:
  • ValidateInputs()
  • CheckAxisReady().
  • GenerateDiagnostics
  • ResetFaults
• Avoid large methods that perform unrelated tasks.
• Reuse methods whenever similar functionality is repeated within the UDFB.

• 
  
• • A good rule to follow is that the main UDFB implementation should read like a high-level description of the machine behavior while detailed implementation resides in methods.
  • This improves maintainability, troubleshooting, and long-term project scalability.
