Code Inspection: Convert 'if' to '||'

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.

An If statement can be rewritten using the conditional OR operator, provided that it’s a bool value that you modify depending on the result of the If statement.

Below, the Contains method returns bool, so you can assign the result of the method directly to a bool variable a. JetBrains Rider provides a quick-fix on If, which replaces If with the conditional OR operator to simplify the code:

private static void TestMethod(string s, bool b)
{
  bool a = b;
  if (!s.Contains("."))
  {
    a = true;
  }
  Console.WriteLine(a);
}

private static void TestMethod(string s, bool b)
{
  bool a = b || !s.Contains(".");
  Console.WriteLine(a);
}
