Code Organization

Definitions

1. The way files, modules, folders, and responsibilities are arranged within a codebase. Good code organization makes dependencies and ownership clearer, while poor organization turns even simple changes into scavenger hunts across unrelated locations.

   In plain English: How a codebase is arranged into files, folders, and modules.

   Example: "The project's code organization improved after the team grouped features by domain instead of scattering controller, model, and view files across distant directories."
