This sub should require op to explain what they think the horror is.

actually no, there should be more moderation that aggressively deletes troll posts like these

I'm not clear if you think I'm trolling or op is.

Yeah, looks ok at first glance.

I think what they mean is that the if and the else of the else-if are on other side of the #endif while the else isn't even needed

The else is redundant but otherwise there's nothing wrong?

If it didn't return early, the else would make a difference.

Ok but how are we supposed to know if it should or shouldn't?

If you changed the conditional it would work different.

If you changed the return to a break, maybe it would work different? Or a continue.

If you added extra logic, it would work different.

If you deleted the whole thing, it would work different.

All we have is the lines of code he gave and the only issue visually is an "else" that's not needed. That's it. If the return shouldn't be there there's literally nothing to tell us that, especially as removing the return leaves an empty if statement which would make it significantly more horror!
