How does readability can affect cost?
Answer)
The readability of the programming is the process of making the
program or coding readable such as including the programmer
comments, choices of the loops used, choices of the names which are
in line with the programming and the contents or usages, and also
the choices of the programming and the code should be written in
such a way that the program can be written easily by other humans
and programmers.
This is required as the program can be changed or modified by any
other person or programmer who reviews the program and after some
years it requires some modification or enhancement, thus
readability is very important. Also, readability can compromise
with the efficiency of the program such as if the program is coded
in really efficient code it may not be readable and understandable
enough. Also, when the program is not readable then it takes more
time, effort and more complex to read, understand and modify the
code and thus this affects the budgets and cost of the project.
