 A further indicator for a missing method is the combination of a blank line, a comment and a block of code. In most of the cases the code block should go to a new private method. This also makes the comment obsolete as the new method carries a name which typically resembles the comment.  A further indicator for a missing method is the combination of a blank line, a comment and a block of code.

-Sometimes extracting the method would result in the new method having a large number of parameters. Alternatively the parameters could be converted to fields of the class. But this would often result in bad [[glossary:cohesion]]. Because of that in such a case extracting a new class is the next step in adhering to the principle.  +Sometimes extracting the method would result in the new method having a large number of parameters.
