# Remove Pass From Body

#### Sourcery refactoring id: `remove-pass-body`

#### Description:

Removes a `pass` from the body of a conditional by inverting it

#### Before:

```python
if not a:
    pass
else:
    return c
```

#### After:

```python
if a:
    return c
```

#### Explanation:

It is much clearer for a conditional to do something in its main body than
solely in its `else` clause. In the latter case anyone reading the code has to
mentally invert the condition in order to determine the meaning.
