Pcc Code Of Practice
Kody Chavva
Many times throughout writing larger programs I have questioned after how many copy and pastes does it make sense to put the code into a function or method and what is a good rule of thumb?I have been using a rule of thumb of four lines or greater and appearing more then twice, then I make a simple function / method containing that code. Can you think of a better practice or offer any pointers?This is more of a general design pattern question rather then a language specific question.
I don't always agree with him, but in this case I do. Code should be readable, not only when you write it and you know every detail, but also at 9pm when you have to fix bugs in someone else's code. Staring at a long condition and trying to figure out all the double negatives is not recommended. If you can just put a name on it (not only conditions, but every piece of code you write), it becomes a lot simpler.
There is a widespread misunderstanding that function calls should only be made to avoid repetitive code segments. My rule of thumb is that any logical unit of work should be made into a function, even when it's used only in a single place. This usually leads to a better readability, and allow you to write self-documenting code, where function names replaces comments and you don't need to write additional comments explaining what you're doing.
then make it a function or method. Long pieces of repeated code, in my experience, will naturally fall into one of these categories (usually the first one, but then the categories overlap a lot ;). Of course, anything that has to be in the interface is also a function/method in its own right.
The only reason not do so that I can think of is one of maintenance: sometimes it might be more convenient to avoid creating a dependency between separate things, even at the cost of some duplication.
A search for "refactoring" will lead you to many resources for industry "best practices" for this very common process. The somewhat famous article, Once and Only Once is a great historical reference explaining what some view as "best practices" for the concerns raised by your question. Also, the even more general concept is known as Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY). For a really in-depth set of answers to your question, read Martin Fowler's great classic, Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code, which covers some of the best known advice for refactoring, which is what you are intuitively trying to accomplish!
That depends on the nature of the cohesion of the repeated code. If the repeated section of code is performing a specific function, then it is an excellent candidate for being made into a method, partly because of the DRY principle, partly because if the function needs to be optimized or corrected, then there is only one section of code to deal with.
If the association is coincidental, it is better to repeat the code rather than make it into a method. If you need to add something to the middle of one of the code sequences to satisfy one of the uses of that snippet, if it is in a method, the change you make may affect other uses of that method.
Today, through periodic updates, expectations regarding compliance are much more comprehensive. Updated and revised over the decades, the Code sets out a rules-based compliance framework for clinical research, fees for services, support for continuing medical education, to name but a few. Many local and regional associations rely on the IFPMA Code as guidance for their own codes of conduct. The last Code revision in 2012 saw its scope expanded beyond marketing practices to cover all interactions with healthcare professionals, medical institutions and patient organizations.
Now, with the new Code, we are setting the bar higher. We are placing a global ban on gifts for any company that is a member of IFPMA, and for all those firms that are members of our regional and national associations. This new revised Code is more principles-based and seeks to embody a deeper and broader appreciation of business integrity.
At IFPMA, across our member companies and throughout our national member associations, we need to champion integrity, ethics, and compliance. Implementing the new and revised Code in full is about walking the talk, about earning our license to operate. As with all things, it is work in progress and I am sure more needs to be done. But we will never stop trying to improve.
On 14-15 May 2024, IFPMA was represented at a targeted interdisciplinary discussion within the scope of the WMA Declaration of Helsinki revision. The aim of the meeting was to foster discussion with experts on the paragraphs in the Declaration of Helsinki focused on vulnerable people in research, with a view to contribute the findings to...
IFPMA has developed a Five-Phase Decision-Making Framework, grounded in the IFPMA Ethos or value system, to help companies make decisions that balance business objectives and ethical considerations to meet patient needs and the expectations of the medical community, regulators, and society.
