data coupling comparison table

Subject reduce by is a kind of be have disadvantage has definition

coupling software quality hard to assess A measure of the extent to which interdependencies exist between software modules

data coupling
not passing unnecessary arguments
passing few arguments, each containing more abstract information
coupling always present to some extent components become coupled because they are dependent on each other's interpretation of the meaning of the arguments; if that meaning changes in one component, then the other component may have to change to accommodate the new meaning A form of coupling in which one component passes simple data to another as an argument
