Recipe to extract the common code if both if and else start with the same statement

What problem are you trying to solve?

Code readability.

What precondition(s) should be checked before applying this recipe?

• Only applicable if the if condition doesn't have any side-effects. Or this needs special handling

Describe the situation before applying the recipe

        if (score >= 50) {
            System.out.println("Checking eligibility...");
            System.out.println("You passed!");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Checking eligibility...");
            System.out.println("You failed.");
        }

Describe the situation after applying the recipe

        System.out.println("Checking eligibility...");
        if (score >= 50) {
            System.out.println("You passed!");
        } else {
            System.out.println("You failed.");
        }

Context

• Similarly, the same could be done for trailing statements.
• As a very special case, if both branches have the same code, this would eventually get rid of the if.

Start with the Java before-and-after examples in the issue and inspect existing recipe unit tests to find the appropriate recipe structure and test location. Clarify how conditions with side effects and trailing statements should be handled; done means the common leading statement is extracted while the shown conditional behavior remains correct.
