The use of parentheses, even those not required to enforce a desired order of operations, can clarify the intent behind a piece of code. But
redundant pairs of parentheses could be misleading, and should be removed.
Noncompliant Code Example
func foo(a bool, y int) int {
x := (y / 2 + 1) //Compliant even if the parenthesis are ignored by the compiler
if a && ((x+y > 0)) { // Noncompliant
//...
}
return ((x + 1)) // Noncompliant
}
Compliant Solution
func foo(a bool, y int) int {
x := (y / 2 + 1)
if a && (x+y > 0) {
//...
}
return (x + 1)
}
