/**
 * This check prevents negation within an "if" expression if "else" is present.
 * <br>
 * For example, rephrase: <br>
 * if (x != y) smth1(); else smth2(); as: if (x == y) smth2(); else smth1();
 *
 * <p>
 * Examples:<br>
 * "if" expression contains negation
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 *  if (a != b &amp;&amp; c != d)
 *      {
 *          smth1();
 *      }
 *      else
 *      {
 *          smth2();
 *      }
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * You can escape of negation in "if" expression<br>
 * and swapped code in "if" and "else" block:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 *  if (a == b || c == d)
 *      {
 *          smth2();
 *      }
 *      else
 *      {
 *          smth1();
 *      }
