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 |
||
5 | class NodePriorityQueueMin implements \Countable |
||
6 | { |
||
7 | private |
||
8 | $map, |
||
9 | $queue; |
||
10 | |||
11 | public function __contruct() |
||
16 | |||
17 | public function count() |
||
21 | |||
22 | public function isEmpty() |
||
26 | |||
27 | View Code Duplication | public function lookup(Node $node) |
|
38 | |||
39 | public function extract() |
||
50 | |||
51 | public function insert(Node $node, $priority) |
||
57 | } |
||
58 |
Only declaring a single property per statement allows you to later on add doc comments more easily.
It is also recommended by PSR2, so it is a common style that many people expect.
