A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms, Second Edition: Verbose condition in greatest product (page 469)
A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms, Second Edition by Jay Wengrow @jaywengrow
Hi,
in the book version, in the page 469 there is the following if condition:
if number <= lowest_number
elsif number > lowest_number &&
number < second_to_lowest_number
end
I think that in the else condition, the one on the left of the AND operator is verbose, because if the number is < of second_to_last_number, is becuse is not <= of lowest_number. So there is not ovelapping cases. Therefore:
if number <= lowest_number
elsif number < second_to_lowest_number
end
Please, con you tell me, what do you think? Manu thanks!

You have a good point! I think you are correct and that extra clause isn’t necessary in the end.
Thanks!
Jay
