One of the possible ways of performing type-testing is via the is operator: food is Pizza.
The is operator is often used before a direct cast to the target type,
as a more flexible and powerful alternative to the as operator, especially when
used to perform pattern
matching.
if (food is Pizza pizza)
There’s no valid reason to test this with is. The only plausible explanation for such a test is that you’re executing
code in a parent class conditionally based on the kind of child class this is.
public class Food
{
public void DoSomething()
{
if (this is Pizza) // Noncompliant
{
// Code specific to Pizza...
}
}
}
However, code that’s specific to a child class should be in that child class, not in the parent.
