# Hoist Statements from If

#### Sourcery refactoring id: `hoist-statement-from-if`

#### Description:

Moves statements that occur in all cases of an `if` statement outside of the
conditional

#### Before:

```python
if sold > DISCOUNT_AMOUNT:
    total = sold * DISCOUNT_PRICE
    label = f"Total: {total}"
else:
    total = sold * PRICE
    label = f"Total: {total}"
```

#### After:

```python
if sold > DISCOUNT_AMOUNT:
    total = sold * DISCOUNT_PRICE
else:
    total = sold * PRICE
label = f"Total: {total}"
```

#### Explanation:

We should always be on the lookout for ways to remove duplicated code. An
opportunity for code hoisting is a nice way of doing so.

Sometimes code is repeated on both branches of a conditional. This means that
the code will always execute. The duplicate lines can be hoisted out of the
conditional and replaced with a single line.

By taking the assignment to `label` outside of the conditional we have removed a
duplicate line of code, and made it clearer what the conditional is actually
controlling, which is the `total`.
