if-stmt-min-max (PLR1730)
Derived from the Pylint linter.
Fix is sometimes available.
What it does
Checks for if
statements that can be replaced with min()
or max()
calls.
Why is this bad?
An if
statement that selects the lesser or greater of two sub-expressions
can be replaced with a min()
or max()

equivalent if
statements.
Example
