One more thing to take away from Procedural Programming: It’s Back? It Never Went Away – Kevlin Henney [ACCU 2018] – YouTube was explained in [WayBack] How to Design Early Returns in C++ (Based on Procedural Programming) – Fluent C++.
Though in C++, it applies to all programming languages that stem from a procedural background (Pascal, C#, Java, golang, to name just a few).
The article is about keeping an if/else-if/else tree, even when they can be removed becomes some of their bodies perform an early return, as
In C++, as well as in other languages, the
returnkeyword has two responsibilities:
- interrupting control flow,
- yielding a value.
It basically comes down to this argument:
Essentially, the argument for Code #1 is that you need to know less to understand the structure of the code.
Indeed, if we fold away the contents of the if statements, Code #1 becomes this:
The structure of the code is very clear. There are 4 different paths based on the
year, they’re independent from each other, and each path will determine the boolean result of the function (if it doesn’t throw an exception).Now let’s see how Code #2 looks like when we fold away the if statements:
And now we know much less. Do the if statements contain a
return? Maybe.Do they depend on each other? Potentially.
Do some of them rely on the last
return falseof the function? Can’t tell.With Code #2, you need to look inside of the if statement to understand the structure of the function. For that reason, Code #1 requires a reader to know less to understand the structure. It gives away information more easily than Code #2.

By now this
should be out of [WayBack] Draft – .NET Glossary Diagram – Scott Hanselman: a list of common terms to describe various parts of the .NET ecosystem.
He has a nice list of sentences where each term is used.
I’ll try to use them myself as well, so I gave it a start at paulcbetts/refit: The automatic type-safe REST library for Xamarin and .NET.

I have seen this happen in various environments: people wanting to detect if their debugger is present, but trying to detect their IDE, or vice versa.
Similar reasoning is for detecting for being running on a console, or your project having been built to run on a console.
People use these decisions, for instance to determine if their application should behave as a service, or as a regular process.
Ways to determine the various permutation points:
IsDebuggerPresent function (which can be true, even if Delphi DebugHook stays zero).TAppBuilder Window class with the [WayBack] FindWindow function.IsConsole, for .NET I could not find good information.Related links:

This is so cool: [WayBack] paulcbetts/refit: The automatic type-safe REST library for Xamarin and .NET. It’s inspired by Square’s [WayBack] Retrofit library which does the same for Java.
They basically allow you to use attributes on interfaces to define a type-safe wrapper around any REST interface, then instantiate a connection to it for making calls.
No more manual HttpClient fiddling!
Since it requires only .NET 1.4, you can basically run it on any platform as it’s supported covered by the implementations .NET Core, Mono and the full .NET Framework.
Quite a lot of projects already use it; I got there via the first link:
