Let's grasp how similar pieces of code differ in quality. More precisely, it's about how/where/when poorly designed code differenciates itself from code that's been perfectly thought/designed, etc. provided both pieces of code are supposed to have, in fine, the same result. To highlight these differencesx give two pieces of co by analysing two pieces of code that are contrasting by their design, so that the excellent one is clear, concise, as simple as can be, in other words pure, compared to the
