<p>Unreachable code makes the code more difficult to understand and may slow down loading of modules.</p>

</overview>
|
|
<recommendation>
|
|
<p>Deleting the unreachable code will make the code clearer and preserve the meaning of the code.
|
|
However, it is possible that the original intention was that the code should execute and that it is
|
|
unreachable signifies some other error.</p>
|
|
|
|
</recommendation>
|
|
<example>
|
|
<p>In this example the assignment to <code>remainder</code> is never reached because there is a <code>
|
|
return</code> statement on the previous line.</p>
