Having too many return statements in a function increases the function’s essential complexity because the flow of execution is broken each time a
return statement is encountered. This makes it harder to read and understand the logic of the function.
Noncompliant code example
With the default threshold of 3:
func myMethod() -> Bool { // Noncompliant as there are 4 return statements
if condition1 {
return true
} else {
if condition2 {
return false
} else {
return true
}
}
return false
}
