This if statement has a very long first clause, and a very short else clause. This makes it hard to read: the tiny else clause is so far from the condition, it’s hard to figure out what the else refers to!
if (rean != pror && (sungbi() || ost >= 5 || en && spuca()) || enad() && !gir) {
...
...
// Pretend there is lots of code here
...
...
} else {
snad();
}
Improve readability by refactoring this conditional so that its two clauses are swapped: what is now the second clause (the else clause) comes first, and the first clause comes second.
if ((gir || !enad()) && ((!spuca() || !en) && ost <= 5 && !sungbi() || rean == pror)) {
snad();
} else {
...
...
// Pretend there is lots of code here
...
...
}
Things to double-check in your solution:
!(...) Instead, make sure you negate the condition by changing each part of it.Pretend there is lots of code here when you write out your solution! Just draw three dots; that’s enough.Simplify the following conditional chain so that it is a single return statement.
if (ec && ahal() || asm >= 7 && ahal()) {
if (!stri && vesVist() || me >= diua && vesVist()) {
if (el) {
if (!o) {
return true;
}
}
}
}
return false;
return !o || el || (!stri || me >= diua) && vesVist() || (ec || asm >= 7) && ahal();
Bonus challenge: rewrite the if/else chain above so that instead of consisting of many return true; statements with one return false; at the end, it has many return false; statements with one return true; at the end.
if (asm <= 7 && !ec && !vesVist() && !el && o || me <= diua && stri && !el && o) {
if (me <= diua && stri && !el && o) {
if (o) {
return false;
}
if (!el) {
return false;
}
if (!vesVist()) {
return false;
}
}
if (!ahal()) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
Simplify the following messy chain of conditionals:
if (to == 1) {
stevi();
} else if (as == false && to != 1) {
ucpan();
} else if (oc && to != 1 && as != false) {
diar();
} else if (stae && to != 1 && as != false && !oc) {
tenbee();
}
if (ma && to != 1 && as != false && !oc && !stae) {
leass();
} else if (mo && to != 1 && as != false && !oc && !stae && !ma) {
lacid();
} else if (!und && to != 1 && as != false && !oc && !stae && !ma && !mo) {
ingcoo();
}
{
if (to == 1) {
stevi();
}
if (!as) {
ucpan();
}
if (oc) {
diar();
}
if (stae) {
tenbee();
}
if (ma) {
leass();
}
if (mo) {
lacid();

if (!und) {
ingcoo();

}
