Robustness is the ability of a system to continue to run after it detects an error (Steve McConnell, "Code Complete")
Key points to keep in mind to write a robust code:
Key points to keep in mind to write a robust code:
- The superior memory performance is kept by processing elements one at a time rather than bringing the whole iterable into memory all at once.
- Code volume is kept small by linking the tools together in a functional style which helps eliminate temporary variables.
- High speed is retained by preferring “vectorized” building blocks over the use of for-loops and generators which incur interpreter overhead.
