Helper Functions

Small reusable pieces

Helper functions are small functions that support bigger tasks. Break logic into pieces. Each does one thing, has a clear name, gets called when needed. Example: validating input might use isValidEmail, isValidAge, isValidUsername.

Each checks one rule. Main function calls all three. Name helpers . isValidEmail tells you it returns bool and what it checks. Good names make code self-documenting.
