return
statements that return a local variable where the value of the variable is computed
somewhere else within the same method.
The quick-fix inlines the returned variable by moving the return statement to the location in which the value
of the variable is computed.
When the returned value can't be inlined into the return
statement,
the quick-fix attempts to move the return statement as close to the computation of the returned value as possible.
Example:
int n = -1;
for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
if (a[i] == b) {
n = i;
break;
}
}
return n;
After the quick-fix is applied:
int n = -1;
for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
if (a[i] == b) {
return i;
}
}
return n;
