How to reduce 'complexity too high' with || - or operator












2















I've got a simple method which counts total lesson's hours in university schedule for additional modules in the department (student can attend to many departments)



 def hours_total
@hours_total = user.open_departments.each_with_object({}) do |department, h|
h[department] = (sports_hours[department] || 0) +
(science_hours[department] || 0) +
(intership_sum[department] || 0) +
(art[department] || 0) -
((obligatory_topics[department] || 0) +
(base[department] || 0))
end
end


How can I fix here Cyclomatic complexity for hours_total is too high.? I have no idea how to not repeat || 0 cause in some departments sports_hours[department] can be nil value

    This code doesn't make sense. Where do all these variables, like sports_hours, come from? A good start would be to separate each of those conditionals into different methods.

  • In your case, I'd try .to_i instead of || 0, you should refactor it further though.

First step I'd take:



def hours_total
@hours_total = user.open_departments.each_with_object({}) do |department, h|
positive = [sport_hours, science_hours, internship_sum, art].sum do |pos_h|
pos_h[department].to_i
end

negative = [obligatory_topics, base].sum do |neg_h|
neg_h[department].to_i
end

h[department] = positive - negative
end
end


Note: if your hours can be float values, substitute to_i with to_f.



Now if you and your Rubocop are ok with that, I'd probably leave it. If any of you is unhappy, the positive and negative should be extracted to a method.

  • wouldn't to_i lead to an incorrect value? assuming time in hours then it could be 2.2 hours and typecasting it to integer would result in incorrect value there.
