# Remove Pass From Elif

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

#### Description:

Removes a `pass` from the elif section of a conditional

#### Before:

```python
if a:
    x()
elif b:
    pass
else:
    return c
```

#### After:

```python
if a:
    x()
elif not b:
    return c
```

#### Explanation:

Reducing the number of branches in a conditional reduces the mental load of
reading and understanding it considerably. This simplification can be made where
an empty `elif` branch is immediately followed by the `else`.
