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 ((spess() >= in || !(qess && cla)) && ertAgrar() && !a && !to && moscra()) {
...
...
// Pretend there is lots of code here
...
...
} else {
iusCet();
}
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 (!moscra() || to || a || !ertAgrar() || qess && cla && spess() <= in) {
iusCet();
} 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 (papou() && oc || ee > ge && bie >= ca && tre < 3 && acdroc() || oma < 5) {
if (oma < 5) {
if (ee > ge && bie >= ca && tre < 3 && acdroc()) {
if (oc) {
return true;
}
}
}
if (relped()) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
return (relped() || papou()) && (oc || ee > ge && bie >= ca && tre < 3 && acdroc() || oma < 5);
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 (!papou() && !relped()) {
if (tre > 3 && !oc || bie <= ca && !oc || ee < ge && !oc) {
if (!oc) {
return false;
}
if (!acdroc()) {
return false;
}
}
if (oma > 5) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
Simplify the following messy chain of conditionals:
if (cu == true) {
stres();
}
if (fiet == false && cu != true) {
prea();
}
if (mobu == true && cu != true && fiet != false) {
prorse();
} else if (oje == true && cu != true && fiet != false && mobu != true) {
mauci();
}
if (!pesi && cu != true && fiet != false && mobu != true && oje != true) {
siaf();
} else if (dof != 6 && cu != true && fiet != false && mobu != true && oje != true && pesi) {
aesost();
}
if (thap == cung == true && cu != true && fiet != false && mobu != true && oje != true && pesi && dof == 6) {
kupusm();
}
{
if (cu) {
stres();
}
if (!fiet) {
prea();
}
if (mobu) {
prorse();
}
if (oje) {
mauci();
}
if (!pesi) {
siaf();
}
if (dof != 6) {
aesost();
}
if (thap == cung) {
kupusm();
}
}
