Having all branches in a switch or if chain with the same implementation is an error. Either a copy-paste error was made
and something different should be executed, or there shouldn’t be a switch/if chain at all.
Noncompliant Code Example
if (b == 0) { // Noncompliant
doOneMoreThing();
} else {
doOneMoreThing();
}
switch on i { // Noncompliant
when 1 {
doSomething();
}
when 2 {
doSomething();
}
when 3 {
doSomething();
}
when else {
doSomething();
}
}
Exceptions
This rule does not apply to if chains without else-s, or to switch-es without default
clauses.
if(b == 0) { //no issue, this could have been done on purpose to make the code more readable
doSomething();
} else if(b == 1) {
doSomething();
}
