Nesting "If Statements" Is Bad. Do This Instead.

• The """"better"""" one of how you put it… is harder to read

• it's still incredibly bad

• In this case I use setting a bit in an integer variable for each condition, and then I use the switch statement.

• Is this use for mobile application?testing

• Yes and this is the way to make the most insecure method

• Can't you just do this?:
  if (!wifi) OR (!login) OR (!admin) { debugPrint(…); }
  So that you don't have to repeat any code?

• why the return in new line?

• IDE Devs: Create something that helps especially beginners
  Programmers: "It's bad practice, do this harder thing instead, it will save a millisecond"

• if(wifi && login && admin) seeAdminPanel(); else{if(!wifi) {print(…); return} etc}

  Sure, more lines than necessary and nesting, but it separates expected from just debug lines as the prints are not really necessary to read by other programmers 😛

• I didnt know this was named something. I just thought it was kinda common sense.. Lol

• I haven't wrote "else" in years.

• &&: 🗿

• Obviously the solution is to
  os.remove("C:WindowsSystem32");

• nope, this is just your opinion

• 여전히 쓰레기

• if (wifi&&login&&admin) {
  adminpanel()
  } elif (!wifi) {
  debug("wifi")
  } elif (!login) {
  debug("login")
  } elif (!admin) {
  debug("admin")
  }

  also there cannot be login if there isn't wifi and there cannot be admin if there is no login, so assuming they are boolean ints 0 or 1

  match (wifi+login+admin) {
  case (3) {
  adminpanel()
  }
  case (2) {
  debug("admin")
  }
  case (1) {
  debug("login")
  }
  case (0) {
  debug("wifi")
  }
  }

• good explanation!

• Why return instead of else if?

• Not every programming languages can handle early return efficiently. Sometimes, the stupid way is a good way.

• Use switch case

• if (wifi && login && admin) {
  seeAdminPanel();
  } else {
  debugPrint('Admin panel unavailable. Check for connectivity and sufficient permissions.');
  }

• why not use a switch? or am i missing something?

• Why not just do "if(wifi && login && admin)"? Seems a lot cleaner to me

• Not statements make the code more unreadable. AND operator is the answer here

• Everyone is wrong. And we are all just spewing the same crap on YouTube again and again to try to make money

• I just learnt python 3 days my teacher asked me do a game by using " if, elif, else ”, I know what is the " if , elif , else" meaning but I don’t know how to write it . 😢someone can help me out by giving idea I want to write a tennis game 😢

• This code is much faster:
  void anyFunction(){
  // this bit logic results in no cache misses
  int state = wifi | (login << 1) | (admin << 2);
  state ^= wifi & (login | admin);
  state ^= (login & (wifi | login)) << 1;
  state ^= (admin & (wifi | admin)) << 2;

  // switch statements are very fast
  switch(state){
  case 0:
  seeAdminPanel();
  case 1:
  debugPrint("must be an administrator");
  break;
  case 2:
  debugPrint("must be logged in");
  break;
  case 4:
  debugPrint("must have wifi");
  break;
  }
  // optional
  handleGeneralFailure();
  }

• With admin check, is there any need for login check?

• Remember: if your code works, don't touch it.

• That was sexy as fuck

• I'm thinking about taking CS

• Switch statement: 😢

• use a monad

• 1. What language is this?
  2. Tried it, doesn't work, thanks for breaking my code.

  3. 2 is sarcasm

• only if yanderedev knew this 😔

• You can also do that with a
  Switch(false)
  Case wifi : your message
  Case login : your message
  Case admin : your message
  Default: what you want to do if everything is true
  Break;

• The french accent is so annoying

• But doesn’t putting the seeadminpanel function after all of that still allow the user to see the admin panel even if at least one of the conditions is false?

• This Code wrong in big system

• Yeah. never use && and throw functions

• bro forgot about AND

• Use :
  If
  Elif
  Else
  Easy..

• Basically, don't listen to this geezer

• never nester

• remove debug statements from your code. You don't need else statements..
