It reduces code duplication at the cost of increasing complexity and error-prone-ness, and there are ways to reduce the duplication. For example, given the following snippets:
switch ($foo) {
case 123:
// do 1
case 23:
// do 2
default:
// do 3
}
if ($foo == 123) {
do1();
do2();
do3();
}
else if ($foo == 23) {
do2();
do3();
}
else {
do3();
}
Yes, the second one is more verbose and duplicates code, but I think it's also far more clear in terms of intention.
- dalemyers 7y agoYou can even take it a step further: if ($foo == 123) { do1(); } if ($foo == 123 || $foo == 23) { do2(); } do3();
