## Description

```{raw} html
<p>
  Having two identical conditions within an <code>if</code> / <code>else if</code> conditional statement is likely a
  bug (coming, for instance, from a copy/paste).
</p>
<h4>Noncompliant code example</h4>
<pre data-diff-id="1" data-diff-type="noncompliant">
if (s1 == 0 && s2 == 1) // Noncompliant: The last condition is the same
  q <= 1;
else if (s1 == 0 && s2 == 0)
  q <= 0;
else if (s1 == 0 && s2 == 1)
  q <= 0;
</pre>

<h4>Compliant solution</h4>
<pre data-diff-id="1" data-diff-type="compliant">
if (s1 == 1 && s2 == 1)
  q <= 1;
else if (s1 == 0 && s2 == 0)
  q <= 0;
else if (s1 == 0 && s2 == 1)
  q <= 0;
</pre>
```

## Parameters

No parameters.
