<h2 id="cyclomaticcomplexity">CyclomaticComplexity</h2>
<p><strong>Since:</strong> PMD 5.1</p>
<p><strong>Priority:</strong> Medium (3)</p>
<p>Complexity directly affects maintenance costs is determined by the number of decision points in a method
plus one for the method entry. The decision points include if, while, for, and case labels calls.
Generally, numbers ranging from 1-4 denote low complexity, 5-7 denote moderate complexity, 8-10 denote
high complexity, and 11+ is very high complexity.</p>
<p><strong>This rule is defined by the following Java class:</strong> <a href="https://github.com/pmd/pmd/blob/main/pmd-plsql/src/main/java/net/sourceforge/pmd/lang/plsql/rule/design/CyclomaticComplexityRule.java">net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.plsql.rule.design.CyclomaticComplexityRule</a></p>

<h2 id="excessivemethodlength">ExcessiveMethodLength</h2>
<p><strong>Since:</strong> PMD 5.1</p>
<p><strong>Priority:</strong> Medium (3)</p>
<p>When methods are excessively long this usually indicates that the method is doing more than its
name/signature might suggest. They also become challenging for others to digest since excessive
scrolling causes readers to lose focus.
Try to reduce the method length by creating helper methods and removing any copy/pasted code.</p>
