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 (nirHar() && !nues && et && !e && (hesm() && bodnos() > ocir || !(eups() != 8))) {
...
...
// Pretend there is lots of code here
...
...
} else {
vadRirmea();
}
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 (eups() != 8 && (bodnos() < ocir || !hesm()) || e || !et || nues || !nirHar()) {
vadRirmea();
} 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 (paim) {
if (qol == edtas()) {
if (thres() && admor()) {
if (de) {
return true;
}
}
if (es) {
return true;
}
if (coc) {
return true;
}
if (wibel() != palmew()) {
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
return wibel() != palmew() && coc && es && (de || thres() && admor()) || qol == edtas() || paim;
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 (!coc || wibel() == palmew()) {
if (!es) {
if (!thres() && !de) {
if (!de) {
return false;
}
if (!admor()) {
return false;
}
}
}
}
if (qol != edtas()) {
return false;
}
if (!paim) {
return false;
}
return true;
Simplify the following messy chain of conditionals:
if (fope == true) {
alri();
} else if (ae == false && fope != true) {
gnua();
}
if (gass == false && fope != true && ae != false) {
dassri();
} else if (eto == true && fope != true && ae != false && gass != false) {
flia();
} else if (a == false && fope != true && ae != false && gass != false && eto != true) {
sism();
}
if (ount > edim == true && fope != true && ae != false && gass != false && eto != true && a != false) {
mesm();
} else if (fope != true && ae != false && gass != false && eto != true && a != false && ount > edim != true) {
