SimplifiedTernary

Look for ternary operators with the form condition ? literalBoolean : foo or condition ? foo : literalBoolean.
These expressions can be simplified respectively to condition || foo when the literalBoolean is true !condition && foo when the literalBoolean is false or !condition || foo when the literalBoolean is true condition && foo when the literalBoolean is false


//ConditionalExpression[@Ternary='true'][not(PrimaryExpression/*/Literal) and (Expression/PrimaryExpression/*/Literal/BooleanLiteral)]
|
//ConditionalExpression[@Ternary='true'][not(Expression/PrimaryExpression/*/Literal) and (PrimaryExpression/*/Literal/BooleanLiteral)]


Example(s):


        
public class Foo {
    public boolean test() {
        return condition ? true : something(); // can be as simple as return condition || something();
    }

    public void test2() {
        final boolean value = condition ? false : something(); // can be as simple as value = !condition && something();
    }

    public boolean test3() {
        return condition ? something() : true; // can be as simple as return !condition || something();
    }

    public void test4() {
        final boolean otherValue = condition ? something() : false; // can be as simple as condition && something();
    }
}
