    Copy-paste is not a Java thing. You could do the same in qbasic or c or in a hex editor you're using to directly program in machine code.

    If you're doing something more than twice you're probably better off using a loop.

    If you copy-paste code, it is almost certainly awful.

    Your post is not a question.
