== Noncompliant Code Example

----
if (x == 0) {
  doSomething()
} else if (x == 1) {
  doSomethingElse()
} 
----

== Compliant Solution

----
if (x == 0) {
  doSomething()
} else if (x == 1) {
  doSomethingElse()
} else {
  throw IllegalStateException()
}
----

== Exceptions

When all branches of an ``++if++``-``++else if++`` end with ``++return++``, ``++break++`` or ``++throw++``, the code that comes after the ``++if++`` implicitly behaves as if it was in an ``++else++`` clause. This rule will therefore ignore that case.
