Method with more than three negations
Reports methods with three or more negations. Such methods may be confusing.
Example:
void doSmth(int a, int b, boolean flag1, boolean flag2) {
if (!flag && !flag2) {
if (a != b) {
doOther();
}
}
}Without negations, the method becomes easier to understand:
void doSmth(int a, int b, boolean flag1, boolean flag2) {
if (flag1 || flag2 || a == b) return;
doOther();
