Coding for Amateurs
Bumped into this code the other day. Hmmmm…
//b_paint_good is a boolean set somewhere else IF NOT b_paint_good THEN //do not do something here [code follows] ELSE // do something here [more code follows] END IF
Now what’s the point of this? Trying to raise the defect count on your software (in the immortal words of Wally “I’m going to code me a mini-van”).
Never code the negative boolean value first. If it’s the only condition you have to code for fine but never if you code for both.
