Use Correct Constructs

In the context of clean code principles, “using correct constructs” refers to using appropriate programming constructs, such as loops, conditionals, and functions, in a way that makes the code easy to understand, maintain, and modify.

When using correct constructs, the code should be organized in a logical and intuitive way, making use of appropriate control flow statements and data structures to accomplish the task at hand. This also means that the code should avoid using unnecessary or overly complex constructs that make the code harder to understand or reason about.

Additionally, correct constructs also means to use the right constructs for the right problem, for example, if you want to iterate over an array, use a for loop instead of recursion and also, you should avoid using global variables and instead use function arguments and return values to pass data between different parts of the code.

By using correct constructs, the code will be more readable, more maintainable, and less prone to bugs, making it easier for other developers to understand, debug and extend the code.
