Nested ``match`` structures are difficult to understand because you can easily confuse the cases of an inner ``match`` as belonging to an outer statement. Therefore nested ``match`` statements should be avoided. Specifically, you should structure your code to avoid the need for nested ``match`` statements, but if you cannot, then consider moving the inner ``match`` to another function. == Noncompliant Code Example ---- def foo(n: Int, m: Int): Unit = { n match { case 0 => m match { case 0 => // ... } case 1 => // ... } } ---- == Compliant Solution ---- def foo(n: Int, m: Int): Unit = { n match { case 0 => bar(m) case 1 => // ... } } def bar(m: Int): Unit = { m match { case 0 => // ... } } ----
