Code Inspection: 'if-return' statement can be re-written as 'return' statement
The conditional ?: (ternary) operator in C# is the most elegant way to execute one of two simple expressions depending on the value of a simple boolean expression.
Therefore, if ReSharper encounters an if statement that returns control, immediately followed by another return, it suggests to replace those with a single return that makes use of the ?: operator.
Here is an example of a quick-fix suggested by this inspection:
Suboptimal code | After the quick-fix |
|---|---|
string TryGetEntry(Dictionary<string, string> dict,
string entry)
{
if (dict.ContainsKey(entry))
return dict[entry];
return entry;
} | string TryGetEntry(Dictionary<string, string> dict,
string entry)
{
return dict.ContainsKey(entry) ? dict[entry] : entry;
} |
