Code Structure

Definitions

1. The arrangement of code into files, functions, classes, modules, and layers, along with the dependencies between them. Clear code structure makes it easier to navigate and change a system because responsibilities and relationships are visible instead of hidden in incidental complexity.

   In plain English: The way code is arranged and connected internally.

   Example: "The refactor focused on code structure first, pulling persistence, validation, and transport concerns into separate modules before changing behavior."
