  • If a jump statement is a part of a guard, don’t follow it with Else If or Else.
  • Otherwise, do it.

I don't understand whether the use of "Otherwise, do it" is correct or not. It's perfectly OK in my native language, but I cannot find good English examples. And it makes me think that something is wrong here.

    It's fine, but would be slightly cleaner in my eyes without "it": "Otherwise, do."

  • @TypeIA Thanks a lot :-) Is it correct that it must be "Otherwise, do" and not "Do otherwise"? In other words, "Do otherwise" has completely different meaning?

    Yes, "do otherwise" means "do something else." It's not at all what you want here.
