Non Equal Comparison¶
Sourcery refactoring id: non-equal-comparison
¶
Description¶
Simplify comparison of non equal values
Before¶
def compare(a: int, b: int):
if a < b:
return True
elif a > b:
return False
After¶
def compare(a: int, b: int):
if a != b:
return a < b
Explanation¶
If we are comparing two numbers and returning only if they are non equal we can simplifiy the form of this expression.
Removing an if statement and merging two comparisons makes the code shorter and easier to read.
