Description: Redundant code refers to fragments of code in a program that are unnecessary and can be removed without affecting the functionality of the program. This type of code can arise for various reasons, such as the evolution of software, where new features are added and old parts that are no longer relevant are forgotten. Redundancy can manifest itself in the form of unused variables, duplicated functions, or logic that is repeated in different parts of the code. Identifying and removing this code not only improves the readability and maintainability of the program but can also contribute to better performance, as it reduces processing load. In the context of software development, redundant code is a key target during refactoring, as its removal can simplify the structure of the code and facilitate future modifications. The practice of cleaning redundant code is essential for maintaining clean and efficient code, which is especially important in programming languages where resource management and efficiency are crucial.
