What would you do if both branches added the same function but with slightly different logic? |

If both branches added the same function but with slightly different logic, I would start by carefully reviewing each version to understand what the function is trying to achieve and why the logic differs. It's important to analyze whether one version handles specific use cases, performance optimizations, or edge cases that the other does not. If the intent behind the differences isn't immediately clear, I would communicate with the other developer to clarify their reasoning. Once I have a full understanding, I would decide whether to keep the better version or merge both implementations into a single, improved function that covers all necessary scenarios. After resolving the logic, I would update or add unit tests to ensure the final version behaves correctly and covers all relevant cases. Finally, I would document the function to explain the rationale behind the merged logic, ensuring that future contributors understand the reasoning and context behind the code. |
