Force: Refactoring may be considered if a common structure is recongized among related methods.

Solution: It may be possible to generalize smaller methods to allow them to work as one. However, you must be careful to not over generalize a method and allow it to have more power than nessecary. A good metric to measure by is that a method should have between 6-9 meaningful lines of code.

**Excessive Conditionals**
**Excessive Conditionals**
Force: Refactoring may be considered if a section of code seems overloaded with conditional statements or switch cases
* Force: Refactoring may be considered if a section of code seems overloaded with conditional statements or switch cases
Solution: It may be possible to break these conditionals up into smaller, more conscise methods that are easier to read and have a clear purpose.

**Reocurring Parameter lists**
**Reocurring Parameter lists**
Force: Refactoring may be considered if a certian list of parameters keeps reappearing in many methods.

For example:
For example:
```
```
function(int a, int b, string c)
function(int a, int b, string c)
@ -24,4 +24,4 @@ function2(int a, int b, string c)
function3(int a, int b, string c)
function3(int a, int b, string c)
```
```
Solution: It may be possible to group these parameters into an object and instead pass the object around to different functions rather than passing each parameter.
