If-Else Conditionals

Guidelines

1) Want the expected case to be the first if block

• Include an else clause too
  • 50-80% of if statements should have one
• Account for both cases in testing

2) Simplify complicated tests with boolean function calls

Misc

• Main goal is to reduce complexity
• Phrase things positively
  • "I ain't not no undummy" - Homer Simpson
• Break complicated tests into partial tests
• Use literal True and False values instead of 1, 0
• Control flow complexity is correlated with
  • Low reliability
  • Frequent errors
