Unnecessary else statements
When your function ends in an "else" block with a "return" statement in it, should you remove that "else"?
Also see related pylint rule R1705 (no-else-return) or ruff rule RET505 (superfluous-else-return), which I don't recommend always following.
And note that the example in the code could use a ternary operator, though it might be a long one!: • Python's ternary operator
