Jump statements, such as <code>return</code>, <code>break</code> and <code>continue</code> 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 <code>return None</code> because this was certainly done on purpose to be explicit that a function is really returning <code>None</code>.
