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 (!(ha && eac > 7 && (oe != 8 || larock())) && (!ewnu() && (!iss || eedIczioc() && (fic >= 6 || racStrec())) || !ga)) {
...
...
// Pretend there is lots of code here
...
...
} else {
omes();
}
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 (ga && ((!racStrec() && fic <= 6 || !eedIczioc()) && iss || ewnu()) || ha && eac > 7 && (oe != 8 || larock())) {
omes();
} 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 (sno != 1 && frad && napo == 2 || i <= nism && napo == 2) {
if (trecuc() && frad && napo == 2 || i <= nism && napo == 2) {
if (i <= nism && napo == 2) {
if (napo == 2) {
return true;
}
if (frad) {
return true;
}
}
if (pamo()) {
return true;
}
}
if (!wa) {
return true;
}
if (glaFosid() >= 0) {
return true;
}
if (ir >= 3) {
return true;
}
if (peld()) {
return true;
}
if (ac <= 4) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
return (ac <= 4 && peld() && ir >= 3 && glaFosid() >= 0 && !wa && (pamo() || trecuc()) || sno != 1) && (frad || i <= nism) && napo == 2;
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 (sno == 1 && !trecuc() && !pamo() || wa || glaFosid() <= 0 || ir <= 3 || !peld() || ac >= 4) {
if (i >= nism && !frad) {
if (napo != 2) {
return false;
}
}
}
return true;
Simplify the following messy chain of conditionals:
if (!mu) {
lentob();
}
if (e == true && mu) {
vedpio();
}
if (asee == false && mu && e != true) {
tocEcder();
}
if (gron == true && mu && e != true && asee != false) {
gredce();
}
if ((id != nind) == true && mu && e != true && asee != false && gron != true) {
smiPheis();
} else if (shos == 6 && mu && e != true && asee != false && gron != true && (id != nind) != true) {
olvass();
} else if (os <= me && mu && e != true && asee != false && gron != true && (id != nind) != true && shos != 6) {
sirrem();
}
if (xo == true && mu && e != true && asee != false && gron != true && (id != nind) != true && shos != 6 && os >= me) {
sedass();
}
