"Reverse your if criteria and use continue. That will eliminate the need for a big if block and make the code more readable."

Rule description

You can use the continue statement to avoid deeply nested conditional code, or to optimize a loop by eliminating frequently occurring cases that you would like to reject.

Example

foreach (var item in foo)
{
    if(item != null)
    {
        ...
    }
}

should be 🡻

foreach (var item in foo)
{
    if(item == null) continue;
    
    ...
}
