3 pts.
Good practices
Your code should be readable and clean:
1. Class does one job.
2. Method should be maximum 30 lines long.
3. Class should have minimal static parts.
4. Create many classes.
5. Class should have maximum 10-15 methods.
6. Don’t use break or continue for loops.
7. Name your variables to make it easy to understand.
8. Use build-in code prettifier (in Intellij: Code -> Format)
Java API
1. Use package(s)
2. Use Java built-in classes (3 minimum)
3. Use inheritance
4. Use hermitization
5. Use arrays
6. Use own defined type
