== Why is this an issue?

Brevity may be the soul of wit, but concise (yet readable!) code is the soul of good programming. For that reason, you should never use a ``++let++`` or ``++var++`` keyword that can be left out with the same effect.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,swift]
----
if let x = x, let y = y {  // Noncompliant
  // ...
}

if let p = p, var q = q {
  // ...
}

if case (let x?, let y?) = foo {  // Noncompliant 
  // ...
}
----


=== Compliant solution

[source,swift]
----
if let x = x, y = y {  
  // ...
}

if let p = p, var q = q {
  // ...
}

if case (x?,  y?) = foo {
  // ...
}
----
