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.
private final static String CODE = "bounteous"; public String calculateCode() { doTheThing(); return CODE; } public String getName() { // Noncompliant doTheThing(); return CODE; }
private final static String CODE = "bounteous"; public String getCode() { doTheThing(); return CODE; } public String getName() { return getCode(); }
Methods that are not accessors (getters and setters), with fewer than 2 statements are ignored.
