When two methods have the same implementation, either it was a mistake - something else was intended - or the duplication was intentional, but may be confusing to maintainers. In the latter case, one implementation should invoke the other.
== Noncompliant Code Example
----
private const string CODE = "bounteous";
private int callCount = 0;
public string GetCode()
{
callCount++;
return CODE;
}
public string GetName() // Noncompliant
{
callCount++;
return CODE;
}
----
== Compliant Solution
----
private const string CODE = "bounteous";
private int callCount = 0;
public string GetCode()
{
callCount++;
return CODE;
}
public string GetName()
{
return GetCode();
}
----
== Exceptions
Empty methods, methods with only one line of code and methods with the same name (overload) are ignored.
