When two functions or 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. Numerical and string literals are
not taken into account.
Noncompliant Code Example
class MyClass:
code = "bounteous"
def calculate_code(self):
self.do_the_thing()
return self.__class__.code
def get_name(self): # Noncompliant
self.do_the_thing()
return self.__class__.code
def do_the_thing(self):
pass # on purpose
Compliant Solution
class MyClass:
code = "bounteous"
def calculate_code(self):
self.do_the_thing()
return self.__class__.code
def get_name(self):
return self.calculate_code()
def do_the_thing(self):
pass # on purpose
Exceptions
No issue will be raised on empty methods/functions and methods/functions with only one line of code.
