      Description

      Merging collapsible if statements increases the code's readability.

      Noncompliant Code Example

      if (file != null) {
  if (file.isFile() || file.isDirectory()) {
    /* ... */
  }
}

      Compliant Solution

      if (file != null && isFileOrDirectory(file)) { 
  /* ... */
}

private static boolean isFileOrDirectory(File file) {
  return file.isFile() || file.isDirectory();
}
