Discussion on: Code Smell 74 - Empty Lines

[Tudor Hulban]

hi,
the title is misleading. maybe it could be revisited. it covers also the case where you have a 5 lines function and recommends not to use empty lines:

func max(x, y int) int {
    if x > y {
        return x
    }

    return y
}

the empty line provides better readability and should be there.

Hi Tudor
I disagree.
The line does not add readability, and else statement will

[Tudor Hulban]

hi,
no issues.
else is another anti pattern.

[Maxi Contieri]

of course !!
