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 Const CODE As String = "bounteous"
Private callCount As Integer = 0
Public Function GetCode() As String
callCount = callCount + 1
Return CODE
End Function
Public Function GetName() As String ' Noncompliant: duplicates GetCode
callCount = callCount + 1
Return CODE
End Function
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 Const CODE As String = "bounteous"
Private callCount As Integer = 0
Public Function GetCode() As String
callCount = callCount + 1
Return CODE
End Function
Public Function GetName() As String ' Intent is clear
Return GetCode()
End Function
Exceptions
Empty methods, methods with only one line of code and methods with the same name (overload) are ignored.
