On: Reducing Code Nesting

[ceol]

I'm certain he was using True and False as arbitrary values. It's a shame his point was missed. Please try to focus on his actual argument.

I'm not so convinced that it's not a fundamental thing.

Maybe someone wants to post a 'better' example and we'll see where it goes?

[ceol → marshray]

How about:

    if (condition())
        return 10;
    return 20;

versus

    val = 20;
    if (condition())
         val = 10;
    return val;

[pka → ceol]

Well:

    val = condition() ? 20 : 10;
    return val;

[jonathanwallace → pka]

Did you invert the logic of the parent post on purpose?

[marshray → pka]

Or even:

    return condition() ? 10 : 20;
