1.2.762. Nested Ifthen¶
Nesting ifthen structures increases the complexity of a method. This rules uses three levels of ifthen to signal a complex structure. When a method has such a command, it should be split into smaller methods.
<?php
function foo($a, $b) {
if ($a == 1) {
// Second level, possibly too much already
if ($b == 2) {
}
}
}
function bar($a, $b, $c) {
if ($a == 1) {
// Second level.
if ($b == 2) {
// Third level level.
if ($c == 3) {
// Too much
}
}
}
}
?>
