Python

Advantage of Not Re-Assigning Values

Efficiency

Not re-assigning values saves memory and CPU cycles, making code more efficient.

Clarity

Code is easier to read and understand when variables have consistent values throughout.

Debugging

Debugging is easier when variables have consistent values and unexpected changes are minimized.

Maintenance

  • Code is easier to maintain when variables have consistent values.
  • Changes to variable values can have unintended consequences.

Best Practice

Not re-assigning values is a best practice in Python and is recommended by the PEP 8 style guide.

    balance_sum = 0

    for account_id in account_ids:
        account = None

        if get_account_data_from_backend(account_id):
            account = get_account_data_from_backend(account_id)
        elif get_account_data_from_external_system(account_id):
            account = get_account_data_from_external_system(account_id)
        else:
            continue

        if "debit" in account:
            if "value" in account["debit"]:
                balance_sum += account["debit"]["value"]

    return balance_sum

Flat is better than nested.
