What is spaghetti code exactly?
Spaghetti code is the general term used for any source code that’s hard to understand because it has no defined structure. While an end user might not see anything wrong with a program, a programmer might find it virtually illegible if the code base’s flow is too
convoluted—like a bowl of twisted, tangled spaghetti.
