# Useless-Else-On-Loop

#### Sourcery rule id: `useless-else-on-loop`

#### Description

Loop's else clause is always executed - move code to same level as loop


#### Before

```python
evens = []
for n in numbers:
    if n % 2:
        evens.append(n)
else:
    print("Done!")
```

#### After

```python
evens = []
for n in numbers:
    if n % 2:
        evens.append(n)
print("Done!")
```



#### Explanation

Loops should only have an `else` clause if they can exit early with a `break`
statement. If there is no `break` then the code in the `else` is always
executed. In this case the `else` statements can be moved to the same scope as
the loop itself, making the code slightly easier to understand (no need to look
up what the `else` does).
