Jump statements, such as return, break and continue let you change the default flow of program execution,
but jump statements that direct the control flow to the original direction are just a waste of keystrokes.
Noncompliant Code Example
function redundantJump(x) {
if (x == 1) {
console.log("x == 1");
return; // Noncompliant
}
}
Compliant Solution
function redundantJump(x) {
if (x == 1) {
console.log("x == 1");
}
}
Exceptions
break and return inside switch statement are ignored, because they are often used for consistency.
continue with label is also ignored, because label is usually used for clarity. Also a jump statement being a single statement in a block
is ignored.
