Duplicated Code In Conditional

Definition:

The duplicated code can appear in a series of conditionals (with different conditions and the same action in each check) or in all legs of a conditional

Code Example:

function checkSomething(in float p1, in float p2) return boolean {
    if (p1 < 0.0) {
        return false;
    }
    if (p2 >= 7.0) {
        return false;
    }
    if (p2 < p1) {
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

function checkSomethingElse(in float p1) runs on ExampleComponent {
    var charstring result;
    if (p1 > 0) {
        result := "foo";
        pt.send(result);
    } else {
        result := "bar";
        pt.send(result);
    }
}
