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 ((guible() == 8 || (vi >= or || iemTidcic() > o && tist()) && dic) && (!gia && mic != 1 || !(sas > in) || !(psip > 6) || !(zesho() < 6))) {
...
...
// Pretend there is lots of code here
...
...
} else {
iars();
}
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 (zesho() < 6 && psip > 6 && sas > in && (mic == 1 || gia) || (!dic || (!tist() || iemTidcic() < o) && vi <= or) && guible() != 8) {
iars();
} 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 (ie <= edaFopo() || poc || ac || ce && !e && iessan() || !a && iessan() || tul) {
if (sest() && cu) {
if (cu) {
return true;
}
if (reras()) {
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
return (reras() || sest()) && cu || ie <= edaFopo() || poc || ac || ce && (!e || !a) && iessan() || tul;
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 && e && !ac && !poc && ie >= edaFopo() && !cu || !sest() && !reras() || !ce && !ac && !poc && ie >= edaFopo() && !cu || !sest() && !reras()) {
if (!sest() && !reras()) {
if (!cu) {
return false;
}
}
if (ie >= edaFopo()) {
return false;
}
if (!poc) {
return false;
}
if (!ac) {
return false;
}
if (!iessan()) {
return false;
}
}
if (!tul) {
return false;
}
return true;
Simplify the following messy chain of conditionals:
if (li) {
aphel();
} else if (rar == true && !li) {
hintil();
}
if (hi == 9 && !li && rar != true) {
iadass();
}
if (di && !li && rar != true && hi != 9) {
breCrii();
} else if (ar == 3 && !li && rar != true && hi != 9 && !di) {
muhess();
}
if (gi == false && !li && rar != true && hi != 9 && !di && ar != 3) {
cistmi();
}
if (vear == true && !li && rar != true && hi != 9 && !di && ar != 3 && gi != false) {
rado();
}
if (fioe == il && !li && rar != true && hi != 9 && !di && ar != 3 && gi != false && vear != true) {
