[previous] 2000 [next] No 'else' clause exists for this 'if' statement.
Control flow

No else clause has been encountered in this if statement. This style is not recommended in some programming standards. An else is considered important in the interests of logical completeness.

Note that message 2004 is generated instead for an if ... else if construct, when the final else clause is missing.

For example: 


/*PRQA S 1-9999 ++*/
/*PRQA S 2000, 2004 --*/

extern void f2000 (int n)
{
    if (n < 10)             /* 2000 */
    {
      /* ... */
    }

    if (n < 10)
    {
      /* ... */
    }
    else if (n < 20)        /* 2004 */
    {
      /* ... */
    }
}
