In the previous post , I talked about side effect free functions... Posted May 01 2008, 07:15 PM by Matthew.Podwysocki with | with 12 comment(s) Filed under: C#, DBC, DDD, Spec#

• Side Effecting Functions are Code Smells

  I know the title might catch a few people off guard, but let me explain. Side effecting functions, for the most part, are code smells.
