Lära Extract Function Technique | Refactoring Techniques

The extract function technique is a fundamental refactoring method that helps you improve code quality by breaking down large, complex functions into smaller, more focused helper functions. You should consider using this technique when a function grows too long, handles multiple responsibilities, or becomes difficult to understand and maintain. By isolating distinct pieces of logic into their own functions, you make your code easier to read, test, and reuse. This approach also helps you adhere to the Single Responsibility Principle, which states that each function should do one thing and do it well.
