When looking at various code samples, I often see something like this:
if(X == x && A == a){
}
else if (X == y && A == b){
}
else if (X == z && A == c){
}
else if (X == zz && A == d){
}
Alternatively, there are conditions set up in this manner:
if(X == x && A == a){
}
else if (X == x && A == b){
}
else if (X != x && A == a){
}
else if (X !=x && A == b){
}
Could there be more efficient and effective ways to refactor this code for improved efficiency, clarity, and understandability?
