Pointless boolean expression
Reports unnecessary or overly complicated boolean expressions.
Such expressions include &&-ing with true, ||-ing with false, equality comparison with a boolean literal, or negation of a boolean literal. Such expressions can be simplified.
Example:
boolean a = !(x && false);
boolean b = false || x;
boolean c = x != true;After the quick-fix is applied:
boolean a = true;
boolean b = x;
boolean c = !x;- By ID
Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.

You can suppress this inspection by placing the following comment marker before the code fragment where you no longer want messages from this inspection to appear:
//noinspection PointlessBooleanExpressionnote
Actual comment syntax will depend on the code language you are working with
