           Code Smell

        Methods should not have identical implementations

        adaptability - distinct
        maintainability
        Code Smell
        • confusing
        • duplicate
        • suspicious

        Why is this an issue?

        Two methods having the same implementation are suspicious. It might be that something else was intended. Or the duplication is intentional, which becomes a maintenance burden.

        private String code = 'secret';
        
        public String calculateCode() {
          doTheThing();
          return code;
        }
        
        public String getName() {  // Noncompliant: duplicates calculateCode
          doTheThing();
          return code;
        }
        

        If the identical logic is intentional, the code should be refactored to avoid duplication. For example, by having both methods call the same method or by having one implementation invoke the other.

        private String code = 'secret';
        
        public String getCode() {
          doTheThing();
          return code;
        }
        
        public String getName() { // Intent is clear
          return getCode();
        }
        

        Exceptions

        Methods that are not accessors (getters and setters), with fewer than 2 statements are ignored.
