Having the same implementation in every branch of an ``++if++`` chain is an error. Either a copy-paste error was made and something different should be executed, or there shouldn't be an ``++if++`` chain at all.
== Noncompliant Code Example
----
if b == 0: # Noncompliant
doOneMoreThing()
elif b == 1:
else:
b = 4 if a > 12 else 4 # Noncompliant
== Exceptions
This rule does not apply to ``++if++`` chains without ``++else++``-s.
if b == 0: # no issue, this could have been done on purpose to make the code more readable
