Code Inspection: Convert 'if' to '||'
An If statement can be rewritten using the conditional OR operator, provided that it’s a bool value that you modify depending on the result of the If statement.
Below, the Contains method returns bool, so you can assign the result of the method directly to a bool variable a. JetBrains Rider provides a quick-fix on If, which replaces If with the conditional OR operator to simplify the code:
Suboptimal code | After the quick-fix |
|---|---|
private static void TestMethod(string s, bool b)
{
bool a = b;
if (!s.Contains("."))
{
a = true;
}
Console.WriteLine(a);
} |
private static void TestMethod(string s, bool b)
{
bool a = b || !s.Contains(".");
Console.WriteLine(a);
} |
