假设我有这样的伪代码:

bool conditionA = executeStepA();
if (conditionA){
    bool conditionB = executeStepB();
    if (conditionB){
        bool conditionC = executeStepC();
        if (conditionC){
            ...
        }
    }
}

executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();

函数executeStepX当且仅当前一个成功时执行。 在任何情况下,executeThisFunctionInAnyCase函数都应该在最后被调用。 我在编程方面是一个新手,所以很抱歉提出一个非常基本的问题:有没有一种方法(例如在C/ c++中)以代码易读性为代价,避免长if链产生那种“金字塔式代码”?

我知道如果我们可以跳过executeThisFunctionInAnyCase函数调用,代码可以简化为:

bool conditionA = executeStepA();
if (!conditionA) return;
bool conditionB = executeStepB();
if (!conditionB) return;
bool conditionC = executeStepC();
if (!conditionC) return;

但是约束是executeThisFunctionInAnyCase函数调用。 break语句可以以某种方式使用吗?


当前回答

As @Jefffrey said, you can use the conditional short-circuit feature in almost every language, I personally dislike conditional statements with more than 2 condition (more than a single && or ||), just a matter of style. This code does the same (and probably would compile the same) and it looks a bit cleaner to me. You don't need curly braces, breaks, returns, functions, lambdas (only c++11), objects, etc. as long as every function in executeStepX() returns a value that can be cast to true if the next statement is to be executed or false otherwise.

if (executeStepA())
 if (executeStepB())
  if (executeStepC())
   //...
    if (executeStepN()); // <-- note the ';'

executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();

任何时候,任何函数返回false,都不会调用下一个函数。

我喜欢@Mayerz的答案,因为你可以在运行时改变要调用的函数(以及它们的顺序)。这有点像观察者模式,其中有一组订阅者(函数、对象等),只要满足给定的任意条件,就会调用和执行这些订阅者。在许多情况下,这可能是一个过度杀戮,所以明智地使用它:)

其他回答

在c++中(这个问题在C和c++中都有标记),如果你不能改变函数来使用异常,你仍然可以使用异常机制,如果你写一个像这样的小助手函数

struct function_failed {};
void attempt(bool retval)
{
  if (!retval)
    throw function_failed(); // or a more specific exception class
}

然后你的代码可以如下所示:

try
{
  attempt(executeStepA());
  attempt(executeStepB());
  attempt(executeStepC());
}
catch (function_failed)
{
  // -- this block intentionally left empty --
}

executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();

如果你喜欢花哨的语法,你可以通过显式强制转换来让它工作:

struct function_failed {};
struct attempt
{
  attempt(bool retval)
  {
    if (!retval)
      throw function_failed();
  }
};

然后您可以将代码编写为

try
{
  (attempt) executeStepA();
  (attempt) executeStepB();
  (attempt) executeStepC();
}
catch (function_failed)
{
  // -- this block intentionally left empty --
}

executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();

你可以使用switch语句

switch(x)
{
  case 1:
    //code fires if x == 1
    break;
  case 2:
    //code fires if x == 2
    break;

  ...

  default:
    //code fires if x does not match any case
}

等价于:

if (x==1)
{
  //code fires if x == 1
}
else if (x==2)
{
  //code fires if x == 2
}

...

else
{
  //code fires if x does not match any of the if's above
}

然而,我认为没有必要避免if-else-chains。switch语句的一个限制是它们只测试完全相等;也就是说,你不能测试“case x<3”——在c++中,它会抛出一个错误,在C中它可能会工作,但会以意想不到的方式表现,这比抛出错误更糟糕,因为你的程序会以意想不到的方式故障。

你可以把所有的if条件,按照你想要的格式放在它们自己的函数中,返回执行executeThisFunctionInAnyCase()函数。

从OP中的基本示例来看,条件测试和执行可以这样分离;

void InitialSteps()
{
  bool conditionA = executeStepA();
  if (!conditionA)
    return;
  bool conditionB = executeStepB();
  if (!conditionB)
    return;
  bool conditionC = executeStepC();
  if (!conditionC)
    return;
}

然后被这样称呼;

InitialSteps();
executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();

如果c++ 11 lambda是可用的(OP中没有c++ 11标记,但它们可能仍然是一个选项),那么我们可以放弃单独的函数,并将其包装为lambda。

// Capture by reference (variable access may be required)
auto initialSteps = [&]() {
  // any additional code
  bool conditionA = executeStepA();
  if (!conditionA)
    return;
  // any additional code
  bool conditionB = executeStepB();
  if (!conditionB)
    return;
  // any additional code
  bool conditionC = executeStepC();
  if (!conditionC)
    return;
};

initialSteps();
executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();

Don't. Sometimes you need the complexity. The trick is how you do it. Having the "what you do when the condition exists" may take up some room, making the if statement tree appear larger than it really is. So instead of doing things if a condition is set, just set a variable to a specific value for that case( enumeration or number, like 10,014. After the if tree, then have a case statement, and for that specific value, do whatever you would have done in the if tree. It will lighten up the tree. if x1 if x2 if x3 Var1:=100016; endif endif end if case var=100016 do case 100016 things...

在这种情况下,老式的C程序员使用goto。这是goto的一种用法,实际上是Linux样式指南鼓励的,它被称为集中函数exit:

int foo() {
    int result = /*some error code*/;
    if(!executeStepA()) goto cleanup;
    if(!executeStepB()) goto cleanup;
    if(!executeStepC()) goto cleanup;

    result = 0;
cleanup:
    executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();
    return result;
}

有些人使用goto的方法是将body包装成一个循环并将其断开,但实际上这两种方法做的是同一件事。如果你只在executeStepA()成功时才需要一些其他的清理,那么goto方法会更好:

int foo() {
    int result = /*some error code*/;
    if(!executeStepA()) goto cleanupPart;
    if(!executeStepB()) goto cleanup;
    if(!executeStepC()) goto cleanup;

    result = 0;
cleanup:
    innerCleanup();
cleanupPart:
    executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();
    return result;
}

使用循环方法,在这种情况下,您将得到两级循环。
