例程可以有参数,这不是新闻。您可以根据需要定义任意多的参数,但是过多的参数会使您的例程难以理解和维护。

当然,您可以使用结构化变量作为解决方法:将所有这些变量放在单个结构中并将其传递给例程。事实上,使用结构来简化参数列表是Steve McConnell在Code Complete中描述的技术之一。但正如他所说:

谨慎的程序员避免将数据捆绑在一起,除非逻辑上是必要的。

因此,如果你的例程有太多的参数,或者你使用一个结构体来掩盖一个大的参数列表,你可能做错了什么。也就是说,你没有保持耦合松散。

我的问题是,什么时候我可以认为一个参数列表太大?我认为5个以上的参数太多了。你怎么看?

似乎除了数字之外还有其他的考虑因素,以下是我想到的一些:

与函数主要目的的逻辑关系vs.一次性设置 如果它们只是环境标志,那么捆绑会非常方便

其他回答

非常感谢你的所有回答:

It was a bit surprising to find people who also think (like I do) that 5 parameters is a good limit for the sanity of the code. Generally, people tend to agree that a limit between 3 and 4 is good rule of thumb. This is reasonable as people usually have a bad time counting more than 4 things. As Milan points, on average people can keep more or less 7 things in their head at a time. But I think that you can't forget that, when you are designing/maintaining/studying a routine, you have to keep in mind more things than just the parameters. Some people consider that a routine should have as many arguments as it needs to. I agree, but only for a few specific cases (calls to OS APIs, routines where optimization is important, etc). I suggest to hide the complexity of these routines by adding a layer of abstraction just above these calls whenever possible. Nick has some interesting thoughts on this. If you don't want to read his comments, I summarize for you: in a nutshell, it depends: I hate making hard and fast rules like this because the answer changes not only depending on the size and scope of your project, but I think it changes even down to the module level. Depending on what your method is doing, or what the class is supposed to represent, it's quite possible that 2 arguments is too many and is a symptom of too much coupling. The moral here is don't be afraid of showing your code to your peers, discuss with them and try to "identify areas where you have low cohesion and tight coupling". Finally, I think wnoise much agrees with Nick, and concludes his satirical contribution with this poetical vision (see comments below) of the art of programming: Programming is not engineering. Organization of code is an art because it depends on human factors, which depend too much on context for any hard rule.

根据Steve McConnell在Code Complete中的说法,你应该这样做

限制一个程序的数量 参数约为7

我过去使用的一些代码使用全局变量,只是为了避免传递太多参数。

请不要这样做!

(通常)。

作为一般的经验法则,我停留在三个参数上。如果再多,就应该传递一个参数数组或配置对象,这也允许在不更改API的情况下添加未来的参数。

在我看来,使用长参数列表的理由是数据或上下文本质上是动态的,想想printf();一个使用可变参数的好例子。处理这种情况的一个更好的方法是通过传递一个流或xml结构,这再次减少了参数的数量。

一台机器当然不会介意大量的参数,但是开发人员也会考虑维护开销、单元测试用例和验证检查的数量。设计师也讨厌冗长的参数列表,更多的参数意味着对接口定义的更多更改,无论何时要进行更改。关于耦合/内聚的问题来自以上几个方面。
