Thanks dudes, but this's not my answer. I don't want to do something, there is a question in my book in chapter one, before starting the flow of control. and before start even || or &&. and I know that we have a way to solve this practice.
Can't be replaced by non conditional code, because it's a condition. Depending on the situation it's possible to do things without a conditional, but without seeing the actual code noone can tell.
