Why is this an issue?
When if is the only statement in the else block, it is better to use else if because it simplifies the code
and makes it more readable.
When using nested if statements, it can be difficult to keep track of the logic and understand the flow of the code. Using else
if makes the code more concise and easier to follow.
if (condition1) {
// ...
} else {
if (condition2) { // Noncompliant: 'if' statement is the only statement in the 'else' block
// ...
}
}
if (condition3) {
// ...
} else {
if (condition4) { // Noncompliant: 'if' statement is the only statement in the 'else' block
// ...
} else {
// ...
}
}
Fix your code by using else if if the nested if is the only statement in the else block.
if (condition1) {
// ...
} else if (condition2) {
// ...
}
if (condition3) {
// ...
} else if (condition4) {
// ...
} else {
// ...
}
