This rule detects if statements which can be collapsed. This can reduce nesting and help improve readability. However, carefully consider whether merging the if statements actually improves readability, as collapsing the statements may hide some edge cases from the reader.

Noncompliant Code

val i = 1
if (i > 0) {
    if (i < 5) {
        println(i)
    }
}

Compliant Code

val i = 1
if (i > 0 && i < 5) {
    println(i)
}
