Nested ``++if++``, ``++for++``, ``++for in++``, ``++while++``, ``++do while++`` and ``++switch++`` statements are a key ingredient for making what's known as "Spaghetti code". Such code is hard to read, refactor and therefore maintain. == Noncompliant Code Example With the default threshold of 3: [source,swift] ---- if condition1 { // Compliant - depth = 1 /* ... */ if condition2 { // Compliant - depth = 2 /* ... */ for var i = 0; i < 10; i++ { // Compliant - depth = 3, not exceeding the limit /* ... */ if condition4 { // Non-Compliant - depth = 4 if condition5 { // Depth = 5, exceeding the limit, but issues are only reported on depth = 4 /* ... */ } } } } } ---- ifdef::env-github,rspecator-view[] ''' == Implementation Specification (visible only on this page) include::message.adoc[] include::../parameters.adoc[] include::../highlighting.adoc[] ''' == Comments And Links (visible only on this page) include::../comments-and-links.adoc[] endif::env-github,rspecator-view[]
