Remember the rule for functions: Every function should only do _ONE_ thing. If you don’t do this already, try it, it’ll definitely change the way you code.

$charge = charge_now(‘summerCharge’,$quantity);
}
// refactoring cleaning your code up.OOP more better

@Ncloud: yes it could be trimmed down further. But refactoring doesn’t mean trimming down. Using the ternary operator instead of if/else is only a difference in style, while refactoring change the structure of the code.

The example could further be trimmed down with the ternary operator:

$charge = notSummer($receiptDate) ? winterCharge($quantity) : summerCharge($quantity);

Another goal of refactoring is improving code re usability. When a particular piece of logic has to be repeated, it should probably be refactored into a method.

One rule of thumb we keep at work is that if you have to copy-paste / yank a block of code, you’d better have a good reason for doing so instead of refactoring.
