Inline adoc files when they are included exactly once. Also fix language tags because this inlining gives us better information on what language the code is written in.

== Why is this an issue?
|
|
|
|
Having too many return statements in a method increases the method's essential complexity because the flow of execution is broken each time a return statement is encountered. This makes it harder to read and understand the logic of the method.
|
|
|
|
=== Noncompliant code example
|
|
|
|
With the default threshold of 3:
|
|
|
|
[source,java]
|
|
----
|
|
public boolean myMethod() { // Noncompliant; there are 4 return statements
|
|
if (condition1) {
|
|
return true;
|
|
} else {
|
|
if (condition2) {
|
|
return false;
|
|
} else {
|
|
return true;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
return false;
|
|
}
