Spaghetti_code Spaghetti_code

Spaghetti code - Definition and Overview
A plate of spaghetti looks twisted and tangled, which is where the name for spaghetti code comes from.

Spaghetti code is a pejorative term for a computer program code with a complex and tangled control structure, especially one using many GOTOs, exceptions, threads, or other "unstructured" branching constructs.

It is named such because program flow tends to look like a bowl of spaghetti, i.e. twisted and tangled. Also called kangaroo code because such code has so many jumps in it.

Spaghetti code is an example of an anti-pattern.
