== Why is this an issue? The cyclomatic complexity of methods should not exceed a defined threshold. Complex code can perform poorly and will in any case be difficult to understand and therefore to maintain. === Exceptions While having a large number of fields in a class may indicate that it should be split, this rule nonetheless ignores high complexity in ``++equals++`` and ``++hashCode++`` methods. ifdef::env-github,rspecator-view[] ''' == Implementation Specification (visible only on this page) include::../message.adoc[] include::../parameters.adoc[] ''' == Comments And Links (visible only on this page) include::../comments-and-links.adoc[] endif::env-github,rspecator-view[]
