| Jul 4, 2014 at 7:40 | comment | added | mouviciel | With two functions, the user has two opportunities to ask himself what happens if they are called multiple times. (plus the opportunity to ask himself what happens if they are called one after the other, possibly several times). | |

| Jul 3, 2014 at 20:19 | comment | added | Asics | @gnat I read those questions and they don't fully address my problem. The first link is explicitly about functions called once while it's not the case with mine. The second link concerns splitting large functions into smaller functions which is not what I'm doing. | |

| Jul 3, 2014 at 20:16 | comment | added | Doval | "Which do you prefer? Richer API vs simpler API that requires a peak at the doc / tests / source code?" An API always requires a peek at the docs if you want to be sure your program does what you think it does. | |
