Methodize

(to methodize code, process of methodizing the code)

This act of streamlining application code involves breaking down repeated code segments into reusable methods and calling those methods where needed. For example, the following code:

public void someFunction()
{
    if (this.something == something)
    {
        label.Text = something.Text;
        label.Font = font(something);
        textbox.Text = something.Text;
    }
    else
    {
        label.Text = "something";
        label.Font = font(something);
        textbox.Text = "something";
    }
}

Can easily be methodized into:

public void someFunction()
{
    if (this.something == something)
        methodizedCode(something);
    else
        methodizedCode(something);
}
public void methodizedCode(object something)
{
    label.Text = something.Text;
    label.Font = font(something);
    textbox.Text = something.Text;
}
