----
if (b == 0)  // Noncompliant
{
    DoTheThing();
} 
else 
{
    DoTheThing();
}

int b = a > 12 ? 4 : 4;  // Noncompliant

switch (i) // Noncompliant
{  
    case 1: 
        DoSomething();
        break;
    case 2: 
        DoSomething();
        break;

== Exceptions

This rule does not apply to ``if`` chains without ``else``-s, or to ``switch``-es without ``default`` clauses.

----
if (b == 0)    //no issue, this could have been done on purpose to make the code more readable
{
    DoSomething();
} 
else if (b == 1)
{
    DoSomething();
}
