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:

private
,protected
, orpublic
) is generally recommend to communicate to other developers how, and from where this method is intended to be used.
