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