Is this way of writing IF conditions considered good coding style in Java and C# languages or not?
if (checkIfIdInFirstRange()){
//call Range1 handling method
}else if(checkIfIdInSecondRange()){
//call Range2 handling method
}else{
//call error handling method
}
I'm wondering about the method inside the IF condition itself, or would it be better to make it like:
int idInRange = getIdInRange();
//handle isInRange
I think this is fine.
Even better is if you phrase your methods like a question, or flows with the if statement
if (thisConditionIsTrue()){
// Do this
}elseif(anotherConditionIsTrue()){
// Do this instead
}elseif(isThisParameterOkay(someParameter)){
// Yeh do this
}
Some hardcore purists will even say that if you have > 3 levels of indentation, your method is too nested and should be split into smaller methods.
