Boolean expression can be simplified

Last modified: 03 December 2024

Reports boolean expression parts that can be reduced to constants.

The quick-fix simplifies the condition.

Example:

fun use(arg: Boolean) {
    if (false == arg) {

    }
}

After the quick-fix is applied:

fun use(arg: Boolean) {
    if (!arg) {

    }
}
