The use of parentheses, even those not required to enforce a desired order of operations, can clarify the intent behind a piece of code. However,
redundant pairs of parentheses could be misleading and should be removed.
Noncompliant code example
If a AndAlso ((x + y > 0)) Then ' Noncompliant
' ...
End If
Return ((x + 1)) ' Noncompliant
Compliant solution
If a AndAlso x + y > 0 Then
' ...
End If
Return x + 1
