-00:00:00,230 --> 00:00:02,000

-We saw at the beginning of the lesson, what are the

-

-2

-00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,490

-goals of refactoring? Or what are the reasons ,why we need to

-

-3

-00:00:05,490 --> 00:00:09,130

-refactor in the first place? The first reason is that requirements

-

-4

-00:00:09,130 --> 00:00:12,370

-change, and when the requirements change, we often need to change our

-

-5

-00:00:12,370 --> 00:00:16,356

-design accordingly. In other cases if any of the requirements unchange,

-

-6

-00:00:16,356 --> 00:00:19,690

-we might need to improve our design. And this happens for many

-

-7

-00:00:19,690 --> 00:00:22,300

-reasons. For example, we need to add a new feature, we

-

-8

-00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:25,330

-want to make the code more maintainable, and also in general programmers

-

-9

-00:00:25,330 --> 00:00:28,110

-don't come up with the best design the first time. So they might

-

-10

-00:00:28,110 --> 00:00:31,130

-need to adapt it after the fact. And the final reason I want to

-

-11

-00:00:31,130 --> 00:00:33,040

-mention is sloppiness, and to some

-

-12

-00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,700

-extent laziness, of programmers. And a typical

-

-13

-00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:38,520

-example of this is something that we all have done, which is copy

-

-14

-00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,890

-and paste programming. So instead of rewriting a new piece of code, because

-

-15

-00:00:41,890 --> 00:00:44,620

-we know that there is some code in some other parts for the

-

-16

-00:00:44,620 --> 00:00:47,900

-program that does a similar thing, we'll just copy the code over. And

-

-17

-00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:51,080

-before we know, we end up with tons of copies of the same functionality.

-

-18

-00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,150

-And when that happens, a good way of consolidating that code and

-

-19

-00:00:54,150 --> 00:00:57,580

-extracting that functionality is to use refactoring, for example, by creating a

-

-20

-00:00:57,580 --> 00:01:01,080

-method or a class that provides the functionality. And we'll see specific

-

-21

-00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,830

-examples of that. A question I would like to ask at this

-

-22

-00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:07,330

-point of the class is whether you have used refactoring before? So

-

-23

-00:01:07,330 --> 00:01:09,690

-I want you to take a second and think about it. And

-

-24

-00:01:09,690 --> 00:01:12,590

-no matter what you're history is, if you ever coded I bet

-

-25

-00:01:12,590 --> 00:01:16,180

-you any money that the answer is yes, you have done refactoring.

-

-26

-00:01:16,180 --> 00:01:17,300

-What do I mean? I'm going to give you an

-

-27

-00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:19,610

-example. I'm sure you renamed the class or a

-

-28

-00:01:19,610 --> 00:01:22,190

-method or change the name of some variables in

-

-29

-00:01:22,190 --> 00:01:25,490

-the code before. That's refactoring. Even something as simple as

-

-30

-00:01:25,490 --> 00:01:28,030

-renaming a class is refactoring, because, for example, it

-

-31

-00:01:28,030 --> 00:01:30,230

-might help you making your code more understandable. And of

-

-32

-00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:32,520

-course I'll admit that in this case, this is

-

-33

-00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,690

-a trivial refactoring, and there are much more interesting ones.
