Code Style

Rules which enforce a specific coding style.
  • AssignmentInOperand: Avoid assignments in operands; this can make code more complicated and harder to read. This is s…
  • ForLoopsMustUseBraces: Avoid using ‘for’ statements without using curly braces.
  • IfElseStmtsMustUseBraces: Avoid using if..else statements without using curly braces.
