Remove Redundant Continue¶
Sourcery refactoring id: remove-redundant-continue¶
Description:¶
Remove redundant continue statement
Before:¶
mylist2 = []
for i in mylist:
if i != 2:
mylist2.append(i)
else:
continue
After:¶
mylist2 = []
for i in mylist:
if i != 2:
mylist2.append(i)
Explanation:¶
If a continue is not followed by any other statements in a for or while
loop then it is not necessary, so can be removed. Removing unnecessary lines
declutters the code and makes it easier to understand. This refactoring will
only be triggered if it unlocks further improvements.
