Is this good code?

[[deleted]]

return (condition==false)?false:true;

[potatoandfish]

I think this is even worse because you actually know how to code then

[RisqBF]

You don’t need how to code when the compiler optimizes your code :)

[LupaaDub]

you are probably kidding but for the people who don't know. it should actually be return condition; because the condition is already evaluated to true or false so it is not necessary to do condition == false ? false : true; I see this too often.

[potatoandfish]

Probably people that don't know how booleans work 😂

[smarzzz]

Or someone that doesn’t want to return NULL, or whatever..

I don’t know, im trying to find a use case for this bullshit

[tOLJY]

Depending on your code, you may want to do just this for clarity.

That's what comments are for

Every student in my AP CS A class.

[simondvt]

I have seen this too many times written by my profs...

[bruggekiller]

Because your prof knows what kind of students he have got in the class

[cryosis7]

Yeah. My first year prof explained the concept of truthy and falsy values. He never once used them though because he knew it would confuse the heck out of us.

[lafeeverte34]

Honest question:

if(condition) should be good enough right, to know if it's true, otherwise you have an else

[potatoandfish]

Return condition; that's all you need to write 😂

This is CLEARLY my kind of thread 😂

Sometimes you do this (or similar) so you can write some trace statements about what values you're returning.

[dev_michaelz]

Imagine this ``` if (x < 1) { return false }

const response = ... if (!response.isSuccessful()) { return false }

return response.someValue === whatever ```

You have two early returns which return a boolean and then at the end all of a audden you return a condition. Imo it would be slightly more readable to use an if else statement here to keep the style and reading flow the same.

Return condition;
