- Definition: Linting is the process of analyzing code to flag programming errors, bugs, stylistic errors, and suspicious constructs.
- Purpose:
- Improves code quality.
- Ensures adherence to coding standards.
- Reduces the likelihood of bugs before execution.
- Types:
- Static Analysis: Analyzes code without executing it.
- Dynamic Analysis: Analyzes code while it's being executed (less common for linting).
