unless statements used with else. It is preferable to put the positive branch first.
Example:
# Bad practice
a = 1
unless a > 2
puts 'a is 2 or less'
else
puts 'a is greater than 2'
end
A quick-fix is available to convert an unless into if. After the quick-fix is applied, the result looks like this:
# Good practice
a = 1
if a > 2
puts 'a is greater than 2'
else
puts 'a is 2 or less'
end
