Replace this if-then-else statement by a single return statement

Question

While solving sonarQube issue i face the below warning,does any one tell me how to overcome this warning

Method:-

@Override
    public boolean equals         


        

Answer 1

Not completely sure of your intent for the if-statements that return false but it seems as if you could simply always return false unless "this == obj".

@Override
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
    if (this == obj)
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}

This same thing could be accomplished with one line

@Override
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
    return this == obj;
}
