Minimize Cyclomatic Complexity

What is Minimize Cyclomatic Complexity?
Cyclomatic complexity measures the number of linearly independent paths through a program's source code. It's calculated based on the number of decision points (like if, for, while, case) within a function or code block. High cyclomatic complexity indicates code that is harder to understand, test, and maintain due to its increased number of possible execution paths. Reducing this complexity aims to simplify the control flow and logic within code, leading to more readable and reliable software.
