    That’s why you set the alternate/exit cases as individual if statements before whatever was going to be inside the original if block.

    To me too long to learn that.

      My code got much more readable when I learned about early returns lol

        Early returns improve readability in that they make it simpler to read, but I also find them decreasing readability in that you may miss an early return and wonder why is execution not hitting the line you expect it to

          I’d say in most cases that’s a sign something needs to be extracted into a separate function. Course sometimes code is just complicated and extracting only makes things harder to follow. Even then I’d much rather use early return than nested ifs as those are significantly harder for me to follow.

    But what if I were to add more ‘and’

    It would be extremely painful
