The code declares a variable named BRANCHES with a string value of //IfStatement|SwitchStatement, which appears to be a delimiter or pattern for identifying specific programming constructs. This variable stores a string that may be used to separate or identify different types of programming constructs, such as conditional statements and compound statements.

Cell 32


var BRANCHES = `//IfStatement|SwitchStatement`

What the code could have been:

// Constants
const SupportedStatements = `//IfStatement|SwitchStatement`;
const SupportedControlFlow = {
  IF: 'IfStatement',
  SWITCH: 'SwitchStatement',
};

// Function to determine supported control flows
function getSupportedControlFlows(statements) {
  return statements.split('|').map((statement) => SupportedControlFlow[statement.trim().toUpperCase()]);
}

// Usage example
function getSupportedStatements() {
  const branches = getSupportedControlFlows(SupportedStatements);
  return { branches };
}

const result = getSupportedStatements();
console.log(result);
