Use conditional expression for return

Microsoft docs

Description

This style rule concerns the use of a ternary conditional expression versus an if-else statement for return statements that require conditional logic.

Example

// dotnet_style_prefer_conditional_expression_over_return = true
return expr ? "hello" : "world"

// dotnet_style_prefer_conditional_expression_over_return = false
if (expr)
{
    return "hello";
}
else
{
    return "world";
}
