Description

Closure expressions should not be nested too deeply, as excessive nesting makes code harder to read, understand, and maintain. Closures are intended to provide clear, concise logic, but when stacked inside one another, they quickly become confusing and error-prone. Extracting nested logic into separate functions keeps the codebase cleaner and easier to follow.

Non-Compliant Code Examples

//
//
//
//
//
//
//
foo(42) { (x: Int) in
    bar(x) { (x: Int) in
      foobar(x) { // Noncompliant
        print(x * 42)
      }
      print(x + 42)
    }
    print(x - 42)
}

Compliant Code Examples

func multPlus(x:Int) {
  foobar(x) {
    print(x * 42)
  }
  print(x + 42)
}

foo(42) { (x: Int) in
    bar(x, multPlus)
    print(x - 42)
}
