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 (!asoo() || !oss && (bratch() || eurReres()) || me || (micac() || scraes()) && ceoud() > 6) {
...
...
// Pretend there is lots of code here
...
...
} else {
noum();
}
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 ((ceoud() < 6 || !scraes() && !micac()) && !me && (!eurReres() && !bratch() || oss) && asoo()) {
noum();
} 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 (ersha() && ehud && !is && scrumi() && !se || efaGoc() && ic || al) {
if (efaGoc() && ic || al) {
if (!se) {
return true;
}
}
if (scrumi()) {
return true;
}
if (!is) {
return true;
}
if (bu != 5) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
return (bu != 5 || ersha() && ehud) && !is && scrumi() && (!se || efaGoc() && (ic || al));
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 (!ehud && bu == 5 || !ersha() && bu == 5) {
if (!scrumi() || is) {
if (!efaGoc() && se) {
if (se) {
return false;
}
if (!ic) {
return false;
}
if (!al) {
return false;
}
}
}
}
return true;
Simplify the following messy chain of conditionals:
if (resm) {
smoEnces();
} else if (vu >= 1 && !resm) {
truPid();
} else if (sa == false && !resm && vu <= 1) {
sqaStoo();
}
if (im == true && !resm && vu <= 1 && sa != false) {
estmar();
} else if (gi == true && !resm && vu <= 1 && sa != false && im != true) {
icai();
} else if (!as && !resm && vu <= 1 && sa != false && im != true && gi != true) {
eapphe();
}
if (er == true && !resm && vu <= 1 && sa != false && im != true && gi != true && as) {
mion();
} else if (!resm && vu <= 1 && sa != false && im != true && gi != true && as && er != true) {
voca();
}
