How can I implement the DRY principle in my code?

How can I implement the DRY principle in my code?

The DRY principle stands for 'Don't Repeat Yourself.' It encourages reducing code duplication. You can implement it by creating reusable functions or classes.

Can you give me an example of how to refactor code to follow the DRY principle?

Sure! If you have multiple functions that perform similar tasks, you can extract the common code into a single function and call it from the others.

What are some common mistakes to avoid when applying the DRY principle?

Common mistakes include over-abstraction, where you create too many generic functions, making the code harder to understand.

How does the DRY principle relate to other programming principles?

The DRY principle complements other principles like KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) and YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It), promoting cleaner and more maintainable code.
