Statement seems to have no effect
59 index = find_index(node, lambda x, i: x['db_column'] == item['db_column'])
60 if index is None:
61 continue
62 node[index] 63 merge(node[index], item)
64 else:
65 destination[key] = value
Description
The expression or statement is pointless and will not affect the program's execution. It should be removed.
It is recommended to remove the statement as it adds unnecessary complexity to the codebase.
Bad practice
x = input()
x == 3 # Line doesn't do anything, it can be safely removed
calculate_res(x)
Preferred:
x = input()
calculate_res(x)
