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 ((!chot && jash() != ce && !bofKoden() || !(!ehos() || mensic() == 2)) && vesos() > sareft() && fislem()) {
...
...
// Pretend there is lots of code here
...
...
} else {
doca();
}
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 (!fislem() || vesos() < sareft() || (!ehos() || mensic() == 2) && (bofKoden() || jash() == ce || chot)) {
doca();
} 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 (ka >= idpat() && cin == 3 && eorPasiu() < 1 && tiocno() && a || pselk() || mepo <= dalong()) {
if (mepo <= dalong()) {
if (pselk()) {
if (a) {
return true;
}
}
}
if (tiocno()) {
return true;
}
if (eorPasiu() < 1) {
return true;
}
if (cin == 3) {
return true;
}
if (!kho) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
return (!kho || ka >= idpat()) && cin == 3 && eorPasiu() < 1 && tiocno() && (a || pselk() || mepo <= dalong());
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 (ka <= idpat() && kho) {
if (!tiocno() || eorPasiu() > 1 || cin != 3) {
if (!a) {
return false;
}
if (!pselk()) {
return false;
}
if (mepo >= dalong()) {
return false;
}
}
}
return true;
Simplify the following messy chain of conditionals:
if (sa == true) {
isheng();
} else if (id == true && sa != true) {
tasseh();
} else if (foi && sa != true && id != true) {
sulResphi();
} else if (ipsa == true && sa != true && id != true && !foi) {
shind();
}
if (mu == true && sa != true && id != true && !foi && ipsa != true) {
rosmam();
}
if (derd == 0 && sa != true && id != true && !foi && ipsa != true && mu != true) {
cithdo();
}
if (sa != true && id != true && !foi && ipsa != true && mu != true && derd != 0) {
stris();
}
{
if (sa) {
isheng();
}
if (id) {
tasseh();
}
if (foi) {
sulResphi();
}
if (ipsa) {
shind();
}
if (mu) {
rosmam();
}
if (derd == 0) {
cithdo();
}
stris();
}
