Rule description

• All branches in a conditional structure should not have exactly the same implementation

Non-compliant Code Example

function string TestFunctionCall (string cnt)

if cnt = 1 then
	cnt = 'B'; 
elseif cnt = 2 then
	cnt = 'B'; //Non compliant code (Else if section is having same implementation as below)
else 
	cnt = 'B'; //Non compliant code (Else section is having same implementation as above)
end if

return cnt

end function

function int TestFunctionCall()

int @count = 1 

if aa_value1 < aa_value2 then
	return @count
elseif aa_value1 = aa_value2 then
	return @count //Non compliant code (Else if section is having same implementation as below)
else
	return @count //Non compliant code (Else section is having same implementation as above)
end if

end function

Compliant Code Example

function string TestFunctionCall (string cnt)

if cnt = 1 then
	cnt = 'B'; 
else
	cnt = 'A'; //Compliant code
end if

return cnt

end function

function int TestFunctionCall()

int @count = 1 
int @count1 = 0

if aa_value1 < aa_value2 then
	return @count
elseif aa_value1 = aa_value2 then
	return @count1 //Compliant code
end if

end function
