TooFewBranchesForASwitchStatement
Swith are designed complex branches, and allow branches to share treatement. Using a switch for only 2
branches is ill advised, as switches are not as easy to understand as if. In this case, it's most likely
is a good idea to use a if statement instead, at least to increase code readability.
This rule is defined by the following XPath expression:
//SwitchStatement[
(count(.//SwitchLabel) < $minimumNumberCaseForASwitch)
]
Example:
public class abstract Example {
String field;
int otherField;
}
This rule has the following properties:
Name Default value Description
minimumNumberCaseForASwitch
3
