Pattern: Erasing operation
Issue: -
Operations that always result in zero (like multiplying by 0) or other constant values are likely mistakes. These operations erase the original value and can be replaced with the constant directly.
Example of incorrect code:
let value = someNumber * 0;
let sum = total - total;
let result = 100 + x - x;Example of correct code:
let value = 0;
let sum = 0;
let result = 100;
