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 (iswas() || qubek() && (ee || !gesiac() || afoMur() < 6 && eist && ooiu())) {
...
...
// Pretend there is lots of code here
...
...
} else {
cacis();
}
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 (((!ooiu() || !eist || afoMur() > 6) && gesiac() && !ee || !qubek()) && !iswas()) {
cacis();
} 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 (ici && racar() || sa <= 1 && iarm >= icid) {
if (mern()) {
if (duime() <= easm) {
return true;
}
if (egu != duqo) {
return true;
}
}
if (xeeEso()) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
return xeeEso() && (egu != duqo && duime() <= easm || mern()) || ici && racar() || sa <= 1 && iarm >= icid;
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 (sa >= 1 && !racar() && !mern() && duime() >= easm || egu == duqo || !xeeEso() || !ici && !mern() && duime() >= easm || egu == duqo || !xeeEso()) {
if (!ici && !mern() && duime() >= easm || egu == duqo || !xeeEso()) {
if (!xeeEso()) {
if (egu == duqo) {
if (duime() >= easm) {
return false;
}
}
if (!mern()) {
return false;
}
}
if (!racar()) {
return false;
}
}
if (iarm <= icid) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
Simplify the following messy chain of conditionals:
if (ia == 7) {
scaThum();
} else if ((cuch == 7) == true && ia != 7) {
cisqol();
} else if (iss == cren && ia != 7 && (cuch == 7) != true) {
crid();
} else if (qo != 8 && ia != 7 && (cuch == 7) != true && iss != cren) {
trie();
} else if (pemu == true && ia != 7 && (cuch == 7) != true && iss != cren && qo == 8) {
nioca();
}
if (mosm == false && ia != 7 && (cuch == 7) != true && iss != cren && qo == 8 && pemu != true) {
orus();
} else if (ia != 7 && (cuch == 7) != true && iss != cren && qo == 8 && pemu != true && mosm != false) {
