Jump statements (return
, break
and continue
) move control flow out of the current code block. So any
statements that come after a jump are dead code.
Noncompliant code example
fun foo(a: Int): Int {
var i = 10;
return a + i; // Noncompliant
i++; // dead code
}
Compliant solution
fun foo(a: Int): Int {
var i = 10;
return a + i;
}
