Code Inspection: Redundant operand in logical condition expression

tip

You can suppress this inspection to ignore specific issues, change its severity level to make the issues less or more noticeable, or disable it altogether.

If the first operand in a conditional OR operator evaluates to false, the value of the entire OR expression is determined by the second operand. Therefore, a constant false as the first operand is redundant and ReSharper suggests removing the expression with the redundant operand:

private static void TestOr(string s)
{
    const bool b = false;
    bool a = b || s.Contains(".");
    Console.WriteLine(a);
}

private static void TestOr(string s)
{
    const bool b = false;
    bool a = s.Contains(".");
    Console.WriteLine(a);
}
