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 (ne && suhe() > 4 || dassi() && osh <= 5 || ini) {
...
...
// Pretend there is lots of code here
...
...
} else {
oosa();
}
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 (!ini && (osh >= 5 || !dassi()) && (suhe() < 4 || !ne)) {
oosa();
} 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 (os || pronia() >= prah() || nabin() == 3 && twecat()) {
if (fa == 9) {
return true;
}
if (isoa()) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
return isoa() && fa == 9 || os || pronia() >= prah() || nabin() == 3 && twecat();
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 (nabin() != 3 && pronia() <= prah() && !os && fa != 9 || !isoa()) {
if (!isoa()) {
if (fa != 9) {
return false;
}
}
if (!os) {
return false;
}
if (pronia() <= prah()) {
return false;
}
if (!twecat()) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
Simplify the following messy chain of conditionals:
if (o == true) {
rionhi();
}
if (mics == true && o != true) {
sende();
}
if (es && o != true && mics != true) {
reac();
} else if (co == false && o != true && mics != true && !es) {
eucBrost();
} else if (o != true && mics != true && !es && co != false) {
dasmou();
}
{
if (o) {
rionhi();
}
if (mics) {
sende();
}
if (es) {
reac();
}
if (!co) {
eucBrost();
}
dasmou();
}
