Certain mathematical comparisons
will always return the same value, and should not be performed.
Specifically, the following comparisons will return either always true or always false depending on the kind of
comparison:
- comparing a
char with a numeric constant that is outside of the range of char
- comparing a
float with a numeric constant that is outside of the range of float
- comparing a
long with a numeric constant that is outside of the range of long
- comparing a
ulong with a numeric constant that is outside of the range of ulong
- etc.
Noncompliant code example
float f = 42.0f;
if (f <= double.MaxValue) { } // Noncompliant: always true
if (f > double.MaxValue) { } // Noncompliant: always false
