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 |
||
| 13 | class Default_Term_Count implements Term_Count { |
||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | /** |
||
| 16 | * Return count of terms which have entities and also not matched by editor, currently |
||
| 17 | * it is used for the menu icon badge. |
||
| 18 | * @return int |
||
| 19 | */ |
||
| 20 | public function get_term_count() { |
||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | View Code Duplication | private function get_terms_compat( $taxonomy, $args_with_taxonomy_key ) { |
|
| 52 | |||
| 53 | } |

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.
