Copyright question

Hi

I hope this is the right section to post.
My question is about copyrighted code.

If I read some copyrighted source code to learn something new and then I would like to reuse one idea I liked what is the boundary to avoid rights problems?

I mean, for example, is there the chance to reuse the idea or not at all? , or (just for example) Can I use up to 3 equals code lines? or there are some different criteria?

thanks in advance
