Redundancy (user interfaces)

Redundancy (user interfaces)

The user interface of a software application or operating system is sometimes described as redundant if the same task can be executed by several different methods. For example, a user is often able to open or save a project by navigating a menu with the mouse, by clicking a single button with the mouse, or by entering a key stroke.

When you add a coding line twice in 2 different ways making one useless.
