There are several advantages to this sort of coding but for me the big win is, if you can return quick you can improve the speed of your application. IE I know that because of Precondition X that I can return quickly with an error. This gets rid of the error cases first and reduces the complexity of your code. In a lot of cases because the cpu pipeline can be now be cleaner it can stop pipeline crashes or switches. Secondly if you are in a loop, breaking or returning out quickly can save you a lots of cpu. Some programmers use loop invariants to do this sort of quick exit but in this you can broke your cpu pipeline and even create memory seek problem and mean the the cpu needs to load from outside cache. But basically I think you should do what you intended, that is end the loop or function not create a complex code path just to implement some abstract notion of correct code. If the only tool you have is a hammer then everything looks like a nail.

方法中间的返回并不一定是坏的。如果能使代码的意图更清晰，那么立即返回可能会更好。例如:

double getPayAmount() {
    double result;
    if (_isDead) result = deadAmount();
    else {
        if (_isSeparated) result = separatedAmount();
        else {
            if (_isRetired) result = retiredAmount();
            else result = normalPayAmount();
        };
    }
     return result;
};

在这种情况下，如果_isDead为真，我们可以立即退出该方法。也许这样结构会更好:

double getPayAmount() {
    if (_isDead)      return deadAmount();
    if (_isSeparated) return separatedAmount();
    if (_isRetired)   return retiredAmount();

    return normalPayAmount();
};   

我从重构目录中挑选了这段代码。这种特殊的重构被称为:用保护子句替换嵌套条件句。

它不仅影响美观，而且还阻止了代码嵌套。

它实际上也可以作为确保数据有效的前提条件。

在性能方面，这两种方法之间没有明显的区别。

但是编码不仅仅关乎性能。清晰性和可维护性也非常重要。而且，在这种情况下，它不会影响性能，这是唯一重要的事情。

关于哪种方法更可取，存在着相互竞争的思想流派。

一种观点是其他人已经提到的观点:第二种方法减少了嵌套级别，从而提高了代码的清晰度。这在命令式风格中是很自然的:当你没有什么事情要做的时候，你不妨早点回来。

从函数式风格的角度来看，另一种观点认为一个方法应该只有一个出口点。函数式语言中的一切都是表达式。所以if语句必须总是有一个else子句。否则if表达式并不总是有值。所以在函数式风格中，第一种方法更自然。

我想这要看你喜欢什么了，如前所述，没有统一的意见。 为了减少麻烦，您可以将这种警告减少为“提示”。
