When I started programming, 5-6 months into it, I was introduced to a very interesting trick/pattern by one of my mentors.
func(){
if() {
} else {
}
can be beautifully converted to
func(){
if() {
return;
}
// Write the else code here.
The reduced indentation gave a weird sense of relaxation. It was such a neat little trick.
What about you guys. Any common tricks which everyone can use.
