# Reintroduce Else

#### Sourcery refactoring id: `reintroduce-else`

#### Description:

Lift code into `else` after break in control flow

#### Before:

```python
summer_hats = []
for hat in hats:
    if hat in WINTER_HATS:
        continue
    summer_hats.append(hat)
```

#### After:

```python
summer_hats = []
for hat in hats:
    if hat in WINTER_HATS:
        continue
    else:
        summer_hats.append(hat)
```

#### Explanation:

Where the body of an `if` statement ends with a break in the control flow, such
as a `continue`, `return` or `raise`, the subsequent statements can be lifted
into the `else` clause. On its own this change does not improve the code, so
Sourcery will only suggest it where it unlocks furher improvements. In the
example above once the code has been lifted into the `else` the conditional can
be inverted and the `continue` removed, which then lets the `for` loop be
converted into a list comprehension.
