# Merge Repeated Ifs

#### Sourcery refactoring id: `merge-repeated-ifs`

#### Description:

Merges together the interior contents of `if` statements with identical
conditions

#### Before:

```python
if wardrobe.hats:
    self.happiness += 1
else:
    self.happiness -= 1

if wardrobe.hats:
    self.stylishness += 1
else:
    self.stylishness -= 1
```

#### After:

```python
if wardrobe.hats:
    self.happiness += 1
    self.stylishness += 1
else:
    self.happiness -= 1
    self.stylishness -= 1
```

#### Explanation:

Where subsequent `if` statements have identical conditions it is logically
equivalent to merge them together. This shortens the code and makes it easier to
read and understand.

Note that this can only be done if the statements inside the first `if`
condition have no effect on the condition itself.
