# if-with-same-arms (SIM114) Derived from the **flake8-simplify** linter. ### What it does Checks for `if` branches with identical arm bodies. ### Why is this bad? If multiple arms of an `if` statement have the same body, using `or` better signals the intent of the statement. ### Example ```python if x = 1: print("Hello") elif x = 2: print("Hello") ``` Use instead: ```python if x = 1 or x = 2 print("Hello") ```
