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 (kiol > 0 && biar && (noiOlel() == 5 && (prea == ecttra() || u == 6) || !er || rerd >= ii && caras() != 1)) {
...
...
// Pretend there is lots of code here
...
...
} else {
fimoss();
}
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 ((caras() == 1 || rerd <= ii) && er && (u != 6 && prea != ecttra() || noiOlel() != 5) || !biar || kiol < 0) {
fimoss();
} 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 (pamal() && a && !o) {
if (scras() && e && co || coc && e && co) {
if (co) {
return true;
}
if (e) {
return true;
}
if (nalPsea()) {
return true;
}
}
if (bi) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
return bi && (nalPsea() || scras() || coc) && e && co || pamal() && a && !o;
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 && !co || !e || !coc && !scras() && !nalPsea() || !bi || !pamal() && !co || !e || !coc && !scras() && !nalPsea() || !bi) {
if (!coc && !scras() && !nalPsea() || !bi) {
if (!e) {
if (!co) {
return false;
}
}
}
if (o) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
Simplify the following messy chain of conditionals:

} else if (repo != mepi && ril != true && dou >= 6) {

} else if (drud == true && ril != true && dou >= 6 && repo == mepi && (uen == 8) != true) {
esscle();
