Branching and Conditions
Guidance
- Avoid deep nesting; use early returns or raises.
- Extract complex conditions into named helpers.
- Watch for duplicated code across branches.
Bad Example
def buy_fruit(nerd, store):
if store.is_open():
if store.has_stocks("apple"):
if nerd.can_afford(store.price("apple", amount=1)):
nerd.buy(store, "apple", amount=1)
return
else:
nerd.go_home_and_get_money()
return buy_fruit(nerd, store)
else:
raise MadAtNoFruit("no apple in store!")
else:
raise MadAtNoFruit("store is closed!")
Good Example
def buy_fruit(nerd, store):
if not store.is_open():
raise MadAtNoFruit("store is closed!")
if not store.has_stocks("apple"):
raise MadAtNoFruit("no apple in store!")
if nerd.can_afford(store.price("apple", amount=1)):
nerd.buy(store, "apple", amount=1)
return
nerd.go_home_and_get_money()
return buy_fruit(nerd, store)
