Jump statements, such as ``return``, ``break`` and ``continue`` let you change the default flow of program execution, but jump statements that direct the control flow to the original direction are just a waste of keystrokes.

== Noncompliant Code Example

----
def redundant_jump(x):
    if x == 1:
        print(True)
        return  # NonCompliant
----

== Compliant Solution

----
def redundant_jump(x):
    if x == 1:
        print(True)
----

== Exceptions

* No issue is raised if the jump statement is the only statement of a statement suite:

----
def my_function(x):
    if x > 5:
        do_something()
    elif x == 0:
        return # ok even it could be changed to "pass"
    else:
        do_something_else()
----

* No issue is raised for ``return None`` because this was certainly done on purpose to be explicit that a function is really returning ``None``.
