Extract Method
From CSSEMediaWiki
Extracting a method consists of turning a fragment of a method into a method whose name explains the purpose of the method. This may need to be used in methods that show a large number of local variables within the scope of a method, to enhance comprehensibility and reduce complexity. If several of these local-scope variables are modified by the code extracted, Split Temporary Variable may also need to be used.
In cases where extracting a method is not feasible, replacing the method with a Method Object may be the next step.
Example:
printOwing() {
printBanner();
//print details
System.out.println ("name: " + _name);
System.out.println ("amount " + getOutstanding());
}
becomes
void printOwing() {
printBanner();
printDetails(getOutstanding());
}
void printDetails (double outstanding) {
System.out.println ("name: " + _name);
System.out.println ("amount " + outstanding);
}
