The use of a pass
statement where it is not required by the syntax is redundant. It makes the code less readable and its intent
confusing.
To fix this issue, remove pass
statements that do not affect the behaviour of the program.
Code examples
Noncompliant code example
def foo(arg):
print(arg)
pass # Noncompliant: the `pass` statement is not needed as it does not change the behaviour of the program.
Compliant solution
def foo(arg):
print(arg)
