Section titled “Sourcery refactoring id: remove-redundant-continue”

Description:

Section titled “Description:”

Remove redundant continue statement

Before:

Section titled “Before:”
mylist2 = []
for i in mylist:
    if i != 2:
        mylist2.append(i)
    else:
        continue

After:

Section titled “After:”
mylist2 = []
for i in mylist:
    if i != 2:
        mylist2.append(i)

Explanation:

Section titled “Explanation:”

If a continue is not followed by any other statements in a for or while loop then it is not necessary, so can be removed. Removing unnecessary lines declutters the code and makes it easier to understand. This refactoring will only be triggered if it unlocks further improvements.
