Subject name after have example occur has definition is a kind of reduce by

coupling A measure of the extent to which interdependencies exist between software modules software quality

control coupling common blocks in the Fortran language which are used to hold global variables
public routineX(String command)
{
//routineX will have to change whenever any of its callers adds a new command
if (command.equals("drawCircle")
{
drawCircle();
}
else
{
drawRectangle();
}
}
when one procedure calls another using a 'flag' or 'command' that explicitly controls what the second procedure does A form of coupling in which one component affects the sequence of execution in another coupling
having the callers of the routine directly call the methods called in the second routine
the use of polymorphic operations
using a look-up table that maps a command to a method that should be called when that command is issued
