== Why is this an issue? Return of boolean literal statements wrapped into ``++if-then-else++`` ones should be simplified. Similarly, method invocations wrapped into ``++if-then-else++`` differing only from boolean literals should be simplified into a single invocation. === Noncompliant code example [source,java] ---- boolean foo(Object param) { if (expression) { // Noncompliant bar(param, true, "qix"); } else { bar(param, false, "qix"); } if (expression) { // Noncompliant return true; } else { return false; } } ---- === Compliant solution [source,java] ---- boolean foo(Object param) { bar(param, expression, "qix"); return expression; } ---- ifdef::env-github,rspecator-view[] ''' == Implementation Specification (visible only on this page) include::../message.adoc[] ''' == Comments And Links (visible only on this page) include::../comments-and-links.adoc[] endif::env-github,rspecator-view[]
