There are several reasons for a method not to have a method body: * It is an unintentional omission, and should be fixed to prevent an unexpected behavior in production. * It is not yet, or never will be, supported. In this case an ``++NotSupportedException++`` should be thrown. * The method is an intentionally-blank override. In this case a nested comment should explain the reason for the blank override. == Noncompliant Code Example ---- public override function doSomething():void { } public function doSomethingElse():void { } ---- == Compliant Solution ---- public override function doSomething():void { throw new IllegalOperationError("doSomething cannot be performed because ..."); } public function doSomethingElse():void { //This method is empty because ... } ----
