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 ((!(pruss() && truSpusfe() != 9) && niblei() || enon || esiGrusvu() <= hoshbe()) && (e > 7 || cogh <= deucva() || moustu())) {
...
...
// Pretend there is lots of code here
...
...
} else {
anpe();
}
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 (!moustu() && cogh >= deucva() && e < 7 || esiGrusvu() >= hoshbe() && !enon && (!niblei() || pruss() && truSpusfe() != 9)) {
anpe();
} 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 (oeiUsni() && cu && carnur() || tro > 7 && carnur() || tosm == 1 && i && carnur()) {
if (tro > 7 && carnur() || tosm == 1 && i && carnur()) {
if (carnur()) {
return true;
}
if (cu) {
return true;
}
}
if (no) {
return true;
}
}
if (a) {
return true;
}
if (riasm() == in) {
return true;
}
return false;
return riasm() == in && a && (no || oeiUsni()) && (cu || tro > 7 || tosm == 1 && i) && carnur();
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 (!a || riasm() != in) {
if (!i && tro < 7 && !cu || tosm != 1 && tro < 7 && !cu || !oeiUsni() && !no) {
if (!carnur()) {
return false;
}
}
}
return true;
Simplify the following messy chain of conditionals:
if (bic == false) {
pren();
} else if (!ve && bic != false) {
cari();
}
if (glet == true && bic != false && ve) {
stess();
} else if (wre == false && bic != false && ve && glet != true) {
allco();
} else if ((ioss != te) == true && bic != false && ve && glet != true && wre != false) {
dinle();
}
if (kot == true && bic != false && ve && glet != true && wre != false && (ioss != te) != true) {
redcol();
} else if (chul != 3 == true && bic != false && ve && glet != true && wre != false && (ioss != te) != true && kot != true) {
spuss();
} else if (bic != false && ve && glet != true && wre != false && (ioss != te) != true && kot != true && chul != 3 != true) {
pergri();
}
{
if (!bic) {
