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:

This check looks for the generic type
array
as a return type and suggests a more specific type. This type is inferred from the actual code.
