Duplicate code is one of the most pungent code smells. A rule that is often used is to re-structure code once it is duplicated in three or more places.
Common duplication problems, and corresponding solutions are:
1 | <?php |
||
4 | View Code Duplication | class Scorecard extends Base |
|
|
|||
5 | { |
||
6 | /** |
||
7 | * Private constructor so only the client can create this |
||
8 | * @param string $apikey |
||
9 | * @param string $projectid |
||
10 | */ |
||
11 | public function __construct($apikey, $projectid) |
||
15 | |||
16 | /** |
||
17 | * Get one or multiple scorecards |
||
18 | * @param string scorecard id, leave null for list of boxes |
||

||
21 | */ |
||
22 | public function Get($scorecardId = null, $args = array("limit" => 50)) |
||
26 | |||
27 | /** |

||
32 | public function Create($scorecard) |
||
36 | |||
37 | /** |
||
38 | * Delete a scorecard object by scorecard id |
||
39 | * @param string Id of the scorecard |
||
40 | * @return object Result of the request |
||
41 | */ |
||
42 | public function Delete($scorecardId) |
||
46 | |||
47 | /** |

Duplicated code is one of the most pungent code smells. If you need to duplicate the same code in three or more different places, we strongly encourage you to look into extracting the code into a single class or operation.
You can also find more detailed suggestions in the “Code” section of your repository.
