Critical Issue: Duplicate method definition

This code defines a second divide method with the same name as the existing one (lines 13-16). In Python, the second definition will completely overwrite the first one, making the original divide method inaccessible.

Additionally, based on the indentation shown (4 spaces), this appears to be nested inside the first divide method, which would create a local function that's never called or accessible from outside.

Impact:

  • If this overwrites the original method, it breaks the expected behavior of division by multiplying results by 5
  • Existing tests will fail (e.g., test_divide expects Calculator.divide(1.0, 2.0) == 0.5, but this would return 2.5)
  • This is a breaking change for any consumers of the Calculator class

Recommendation:

  • If you need a method that divides and multiplies by 5, create a new method with a descriptive name like divideAndMultiplyBy5
  • If this was meant to replace the original divide method, please provide justification for changing the mathematical behavior
  • Remove this duplicate definition and either keep the original or create a properly named new method
Suggested change
def divide(x, y):
if y == 0:
return 'Cannot divide by 0'
return x * 1.0 / y * 5
# If you need division multiplied by 5, create a new method:
def divideAndMultiplyBy5(x, y):
if y == 0:
return 'Cannot divide by 0'
return x * 1.0 / y * 5
