If there are multiple copies of the +same code, then you will also need to test each copy to ensure that the +functionality is correct. Duplicate code can be confusing for someone who is +trying to understand the logic and flow of the code if they come across multiple +identical or nearly identical blocks of code. The reader can then skim and +think something is identical when it actually isn't. This is particularly true +during review. |
