Code optimization
First, my golden rule: method with more than 12 rows is too long. Methods should be short, simple, clean and reusable. In most cases your methods fits into 5-12 rows. If not, you should consider rewriting your methods.
Look at the next code. There is too much nested tests. Soon you get lost with more and more nested levels:
function gimmeResult(a, b, c)
{
var result;
if(a)
{
if(b || c)
{
if(b && c < 0)
{
result = 1;
}
else
{
result = 2;
// where am I?
}
}
else
{
result = 3;
}
}
else
{
result = 4;
}
return result;
}
Try to linearize code, it is much more cleaner for reading when no multiple nesting used:
function gimmeResult(a, b, c)
{
if(!a)
return 4;
if(!b && !c)
return 3;
if(b && c < 0)
return 1;
return 2;
}
