== Why is this an issue?
|
|
|
|
Control flow constructs like `if`-statements allow the programmer to direct the
|
|
flow of a program depending on a boolean expression.
|
|
However, if the condition is always true or always false, only one of the
|
|
branches will ever be executed.
|
|
In that case, the control flow construct and the condition no longer serve a
|
|
purpose; they become _gratuitous_.
