I appreciate this. I started to do this on my own to avoid nested if-statements but I wasn't sure if it was a proper thing to do. Keep em coming 👌

I believe Shorts are awesome for quick tips and short span attention audience. 💪

[MuhammadAdam-komy]

multiple returns in the function is considered to be the bad practice. what do you suggest?

[linuxtutorialshindi]

Simply avoid passing boolean parameters along with other parameters in the method. Create two methods instead.

[redcrafterlppa]

I never nest if statements. I don't even use else (most of the time). If you find yourself in the situation where you need an else statement that can't be rearranged with an return/break/continue rethink the function. It's likely to big already.

[PaulSebastianM]

I feel like you should focus on the solution more in shorts. The quickest explanation is write for the early return by focusing on what causes an early return first, and lastly focusing on the main action. These are also called guard clauses. The explanation with inverting if statements and excluding all the negative possibilities is very ambiguous.

[Max_Jacoby]

The real question is how did he write ≤ in IDE. Is it Visual Studio?

[rohit]

This is not a tip sometimes it is hard to think the opposite of if statement.

Guard clauses are good for some solutions and bad for others, you shouldn't have to use only one everytime

Also, if you need nested statements you probably can abstract it into a new function. That way you can avoid the complexity of guard clauses and still have clean code

[NoFailer]

Use a switch-case statement instead of multiple if-statements.

[baranacikgoz]

Accepting boolean as a parameter is a bad practice imo. You can create two function and not pass boolean. Execute one of them respect to booleans value

[JorgeEscobarMX]

Shit hes actually right. Fuck the happy path

[electricengine]

bruh you didn't even remove the blocks in the if starements

[benceszke]

Why is everyone thinking that guardstatements will be new to anyone at this point. Every programming tips and tricks or guides contains it

[ari_archer]

if (...)
....

{} are optional for 1 LoC

Your code won't be ugly if you don't code

Beginners

Do not follow this until you fully understand the nature if if-else blocks and guard statements which includes negation

In some cases, it is genuinely hard if not inefficient to think of the negation for an if condition when a proper if-else with nested if is more efficient and readable.

Readability is key, I typically hate to read Code that has the negation guard but returns -1 inside...like why?!, but I digress

Seriously

Readability, efficiency, 2 of the most important factors in terms of debugging and writing

Do NOT do this unless you absolutely know the concept

[neo_uwuowo]

a switch statement looks nicer in m opinion

[CookiePepper]

Bad example. No one writes code like that.

[IvanRandomDude]

JetBrains IDEs be like Pls, noob, convert this bs to normal code
