Class OneStatementPerLineCheck

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Configurable, Contextualizable

    public final class OneStatementPerLineCheck
    extends AbstractCheck
    Restricts the number of statements per line to one.

    Rationale: It's very difficult to read multiple statements on one line.

    In the Java programming language, statements are the fundamental unit of execution. All statements except blocks are terminated by a semicolon. Blocks are denoted by open and close curly braces.

    OneStatementPerLineCheck checks the following types of statements: variable declaration statements, empty statements, assignment statements, expression statements, increment statements, object creation statements, 'for loop' statements, 'break' statements, 'continue' statements, 'return' statements, import statements.

    The following examples will be flagged as a violation:

         //Each line causes violation:
         int var1; int var2;
         var1 = 1; var2 = 2;
         int var1 = 1; int var2 = 2;
         var1++; var2++;
         Object obj1 = new Object(); Object obj2 = new Object();
         import java.io.EOFException; import java.io.BufferedReader;
         ;; //two empty statements on the same line.
    
         //Multi-line statements:
         int var1 = 1
         ; var2 = 2; //violation here
         int o = 1, p = 2,
         r = 5; int t; //violation here

      • getDefaultTokens

        public int[] getDefaultTokens()
        Description copied from class: AbstractCheck
        Returns the default token a check is interested in. Only used if the configuration for a check does not define the tokens.
        Specified by:
        getDefaultTokens in class AbstractCheck
        Returns:
        the default tokens
        See Also:
        TokenTypes
      • getAcceptableTokens

        public int[] getAcceptableTokens()
        Description copied from class: AbstractCheck
        The configurable token set. Used to protect Checks against malicious users who specify an unacceptable token set in the configuration file. The default implementation returns the check's default tokens.
        Specified by:
        getAcceptableTokens in class AbstractCheck
        Returns:
        the token set this check is designed for.

      • getRequiredTokens

        public int[] getRequiredTokens()
        Description copied from class: AbstractCheck
        The tokens that this check must be registered for.
        Specified by:
        getRequiredTokens in class AbstractCheck
        Returns:
        the token set this must be registered for.
