I should have created a local variable to store the result variable and return after the if statements. I just couldn’t help to make it look partially nice. My brain just doesn’t think at this high caliber of LOC optimizations.
New optimized LOC version:
internalstaticboolAreBooleansEqual(bool orig, bool val)
{
bool result;
if(orig)
{
if(val)
{
result = false;
}
else
{
result = true;
}
}
else
{
if(val)
{
result = true;
}
else
{
result = false;
}
}
return result;
}
Surely we could optimize the return value with a switch statement and store the result as an integer to hide the compiler warning about our clearly correct code:
internalstaticboolAreBooleansEqual(bool orig, bool val)
{
int result;
if(orig)
{
if(val)
{
result = 0;
}
else
{
result = 1;
}
}
else
{
if(val)
{
result = 1;
}
else
{
result = 0;
}
}
switch (result)
{
case(1):
returntrue;
case(0):
returnfalse;
default:
return AreBooleansEqual(orig, val);
}
}
Make the input variables nullable, then add checks if the values are null, then assign default values if they are, otherwise continue with the passed values.
Put more curly brackets around your if (val) true statement for 4 more lines, put elses in there for more lines even.
