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 (hi && (fa || !ec && ple <= nenAnpoos() && oti && hapran() == 3 || pebe) && cochri()) {
...
...
// Pretend there is lots of code here
...
...
} else {
qilIdner();
}
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 (!cochri() || !pebe && (hapran() != 3 || !oti || ple >= nenAnpoos() || ec) && !fa || !hi) {
qilIdner();
} 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 (breda()) {
if (auiDast() && pel || !sio && lucfre() <= 0 && ra && on) {
if (!ie && pel || !sio && lucfre() <= 0 && ra && on) {
if (!sio && lucfre() <= 0 && ra && on) {
if (pel) {
return true;
}
}
if (iantso() == scis) {
return true;
}
}
}
}
return false;
return (iantso() == scis || !ie || auiDast()) && (pel || !sio && lucfre() <= 0 && ra && on) || breda();
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 (!auiDast() && ie && iantso() != scis) {
if (!ra && !pel || lucfre() >= 0 && !pel || sio && !pel) {
if (!pel) {
return false;
}
if (!on) {
return false;
}
}
}
if (!breda()) {
return false;
}
return true;
Simplify the following messy chain of conditionals:
if (pe) {
frunt();
}
if (oc == false && !pe) {
xani();
}
if (cil == true && !pe && oc != false) {
inko();
} else if (ston == true && !pe && oc != false && cil != true) {
weaon();
}
if (uasm <= ce && !pe && oc != false && cil != true && ston != true) {
cesmap();
}
if (ca == false && !pe && oc != false && cil != true && ston != true && uasm >= ce) {
atrec();
}
if (di == false && !pe && oc != false && cil != true && ston != true && uasm >= ce && ca != false) {
fabuac();
} else if (!pe && oc != false && cil != true && ston != true && uasm >= ce && ca != false && di != false) {
onso();
}
{

if (!oc) {
